what the hell is jessica tarlov spewing about exorbitant profits of Kroger

[Toddsterpatriot]

They would have increased prices because of higher costs. Why not increase prices a little more and expand your margin?

How much higher were their costs?

 

[Marener]

How much higher were their costs?

I’ve said repeatedly that half of the inflation was due to profits which means the other half is due to costs.

Half of all inflation is due to higher profits? It's a hilarious claim.

All inflation, all profits? Or just food suppliers?

The average price for Tyson’s beef surged 31.7% in the quarter ended on Jan. 1, while the unit’s operating margins jumped to 19.1% from 13.2% a year ago. Average prices for all of Tyson’s products climbed by 19.6%.

That is the market.

Do you have a problem with that ?

Don't like Tyson's prices....don't buy Tyson's products.

I don't buy some things now because I don't like feeling shafted.

 

[JustAnotherNut]

They absolutely carry as much or more of the store brands, because, as you said, they make a higher margin on it.

Tell that to the stores in my area cause no they do not carry as much store brand products as they did before 2020

 

[Marener]

That is the market.

Do you have a problem with that ?

Don't like Tyson's prices....don't buy Tyson's products.

I don't buy some things now because I don't like feeling shafted.

Great. Then don’t complain about inflation. That’s the market.

 

[HikerGuy83]

Great. Then don’t complain about inflation. That’s the market.

I'll complain about inflation all I want, asshole.

 

[Harry Dresden]

I'll complain about inflation all I want, asshole.

thats right...if you pay taxes you can bitch about anything you want...

 

[HikerGuy83]

thats right...if you pay taxes you can bitch about anything you want...

One is a product of the market.

The other is a market interference.

Marener doesn't know the difference.

If I think someone is gouging me, I don't shop or buy there. My decision.

I don't get a choice in inflation.

 

[progressive hunter]

thats right...if you pay taxes you can bitch about anything you want...

1st amendment says I can bitch all I want,,

paying taxs just means I might care what you say,,

 

[Marener]

I'll complain about inflation all I want, asshole.

Then you’re just complaining about the free market.

What are you, a commie?

 

[Marener]

If I think someone is gouging me, I don't shop or buy there. My decision.

I don't get a choice in inflation.

And what if they’re all gouging you?

 

[HikerGuy83]

Then you’re just complaining about the free market.

What are you, a commie?

I can walk away from prices....my choice.

I can't walk away from inflation the same way.

Dumbass.

Private corporations compete for my money.

Harris's policy is to kill the buying power of my money.

 

[HikerGuy83]

And what if they’re all gouging you?

You mean like if there is inflation.

Nobody has anything I "need" except health care services.

 

[progressive hunter]

And what if they’re all gouging you?

that means you arent being gouged,,

 

[Crepitus]

where I buy grocerys Kroger is always the lower price.

lower than where else?

"Cause here they are the most expensive under the Dillons brand.

 

[Crepitus]

You mean like if there is inflation.

I'm pretty sure that's exactly what she didn't mean.
