thats not the whole story though because some things rose more than others. certain industries decided to treat inflation like they would tariffs, instead raising their prices with inflation they raised in excess of inflation. And, inflation was actually much higher than reported. tldr; multi-track kikery

taco-bell is publicly traded and has legal obligation to generate as much profit as possible for its shareholders.
provided two strategies of selling 1 burrito per year for $100,000; or 999,999 burritos per year for $1, they are required to go for the whale sale.
the reality is that the high price results in the most profit, even with less sales.

It's the jews, but also inflation is intentionally calculated wrong so the number comes back lower. they include things that go down in price like flatscreen tvs in the calculation instead of it being like education, food, gas and housing. They do the same shit with unemployment, intentionally counting it wrong

Okay, listen: the who PPP loan thing during COVID was intended to kill thousands of local mom-and-pop businesses.

Look around. Those stores are now all gone.

It was a mass market-consolidation. During this same time, the big Coke/Pepsi/etc. mega-brands all started price-gouging, because they had corners on the market.

That's also when the big labor squeeze began. Restaurants have far fewer staff now, less of the amenities operating compared to before, etc.

COVID was, among other things, a cash grab for those in the club.

CORPORATE GREED
>Taco Bell is a major profit driver for parent company Yum! Brands, hitting a milestone of over $1 billion in core operating profit in 2024, with company-owned margins around 24%. Taco Bell expects average U.S. company store profitability to rise from $550,000 in 2024 to $800,000 in 2030. Taco Bell also wants 100 percent of transactions to be enabled by digital platforms and streamline every touchpoint through innovations like Byte by Yum!, the company’s new tech suite filled with several AI-driven tools. (ie automate all cashier staff, and most counter staff).

Every year the sales tax goes a little bit higher. Even if they don’t raise the price of anything significantly, the tax you pay afterwards always goes up. So a 1.90 jug of water will be 3 dollars and 30 cents afterwards. You pay almost double for low priced items now
>>
>>524242709
THIS.

How do people live in 2025 and not understand basic modern economics and corporate strategy. None of this is any secret. Consumers are irrelevant. The one and only factor determining corporate action is the maximization of earnings per share for (publically traded entities) and profit maximization across the board.

Arguing this is incorrect is like saying water isn’t wet.

>>524241686
No, fast food prices are not the same across every U.S. state; they vary significantly due to factors like local operating costs, rent, taxes, competition, and consumer willingness to pay, with higher prices often seen in areas with higher minimum wages (like California) or higher costs of living, though some argue for regional price tiers. While some chains try for consistency, local market conditions, including labor expenses and the high cost of living, drive price differences, meaning you'll pay more in expensive states like Hawaii or California and less in more affordable states like Idaho or Nebraska.
>>
>>524241686
It weights less too.

Who the fuck is buying Taco Bell in 2025? It was barely passable as food in 2005 and that's because their entire value proposition was that you could feed a family of five with a $20 bill.

Same thing that happened with Subway. The 89c beefy 5 layer was a promotion in 09 if I'm remembering correctly where they were selling 5layers like 30% below cost as a loss leader to get people in to buy baja blast and other high margin shit. It worked but they could never maintain those prices forever. In the same way Subway milked the $5 footlong as long as they could knowing that their customer base would evaporate the second they pulled prices back up to sustainable levels, and guess what happened when they finally did?

They changed the definition. What's weird about this is when they did it (while inflating the M1) and never provided normalized numbers. That graph overstates the effect, but specifically does so at a point when it works in their favor. Peak judiasm.

once your company is publicly traded, simply running on a net plus is no longer good enough. that net plus needs to be as maximized as possible, no matter the sacrifices.

Inflation was running at 10%+ a year between 2008-2019 while they claimed inflation was actually 0-2%. The mass printing of money from COVID just made the normies realise they're a frog in a pan of water.
>>
>>524242521
This. The "commodity basket" used to calculate highly cooked inflation stats contains an overproportionate volume of products that you usually buy once every few years, such as a washing machine and computers, taking into account technological improvements (so the computer we use today has x flops, how much did that computer cost a year ago). What this means is that particularly objects like cars and computers where the technological standards keep improving while pricing remains stable create a completely concocted value, since nobody buys several computers a year, but you do go out to eat burritos several times, or buy dozens of yoghurts at supermarkets etc.
So in short, the commodity basket does neither reflect spending habits of consumers, nor priorities of consumers, nor does it take into account that consumers do not broadly ask for the technological innovations being offered, they just want to get by with what they have for as long as they can (washing machine, car, computer, phone) before having to buy a new one.
Realistically, inflation has been at over 12% p.a. the past 5 years. You can thank the idiots that enjoyed the comfy lockdowns over muh coofles.

>>524244266
they call up people on phones so you need to answer you phone and ask you if you're out of work and you've been looking for work in the past x number of days.
So if you aren't looking for work, or don't answer your phone you don't get counted

Sometimes fast food franchises will offer trash items cheap to the point of not even being profitable on their own just to attract people to the store so they buy other things that DO make money

Later on this offer may be rescinded, the item priced normally again and then when someone compares the two cists between these two times they assume they are comparing two normal prices
>>
>>524241686
at least it's the same size

here in Mexico the price keeps getting higher and higher and the size smaller and smaller

>>524244756
In the UK and other European countries if you have been out of work for more than 6 months you're no longer classed as unemployed, they simply remove you from the reel. Same goes for recent graduates. The US almost certainly has something similar.
>>
I’m ok with it. I was at the perfect age to experience cheap slop with friends, I remember everyone throwing in a single dollar to get a hot n ready and be fed and happy. $3 to get full at McDonald’s, when you could still steal soda. I’m over fast food now and it’s too expensive to be worth it anyway, worked out perfectly.

They've been claiming far more than 2% every year for the past 5 years.
That should scare the fuck out of everyone. Because whenever they said 1.4% or 1.9%, it was actually over 5%. Now they are claiming 5%, that means it's actually around 12.5% - 15% minimum
