#6  Walmart is commiting business suicide by the newest generation of Harvard idiot management.

Crooks walk in with huge back packs, fill them with merchandise, then walk out the front door without paying a penny ALL DAY LONG in front of customers and staff, because of management policy to not stop shop lifters wearing back packs.. And the shop lifting criminals flaunt in the faces of others as they leave.

Every time I go in I see that happening, and everytime I complain that I pay but they allow others to not pay just to give them grief. Ask any Walmart Associate Manager about this and they will tell you it is true. Walmart willingly encourages the criminal culture wherever they have a store.

#2  Technically, its not that prices are up as much as the value of your money is worth less. Print a gazillion dollars and the dollars you have have less worth. In the old days of coinage, the people who minted the stuff would introduce 'base' metal into the silver or gold to increase the supply aka debasing. Today they just to it with printing more paper or just push some buttons on a computer.

If we still had silver coins, this is what their value would be -

#1  The Scamdemic is pretty much over.
People are getting out and shopping the stores. Not just the Big Box ones either. Consumers are squeezing pennies, for the best prices. Time after time I am see stupid ridiculously inflaed priced items in Wally World. Like eggs a $1+ more a dz than Aldi's or Lidl's. Item after Item selling for 80 to 100%+ more than a year ago. Like a carbon monoxide detect now "on sale" at $51.00 up from $24.95 a year ago.

Basically, our incomes have not kept pace with the ROI that greedy Corporations want and it is catching with them.
