THE NEW ROBBER BARONS

I wish Republicans (and some Democrats) would stop bitching about inflation and blaming Biden. Today's out-of-control inflation is caused by corporations who think if they raise prices nobody will notice or at least blame Biden. One of the worst offenders is Walgreens who charged $28.99 for eyedrops that were $21.00 at Publix, which is also overpriced. Today I went to Office Depot another runaway bandit. The reams of paper which used to be $5.50 are now $15.99. They must love this ripoff because even a small package of Post-It notes were $15.99. Everything else was also overpriced. Greed is rampant today, and it has nothing to do with the government. It's an epidemic of unnecessary price gouging from companies who are making a bundle already but know we're gullible enough to let them make more.
