I know these types. Grocery prices supposedly quadrupled a year or few back. Having experienced quite a bit of inflation myself but knowing quite well that my grocery bill wasn't even double pre-Covid era prices, I inquired further. The only example at the time of anything that had even remotely quadrupled in price was eggs. And that was a temporary thing at the time blamed on bird flu but later also revealed to be also due to corporate greed.

Its ALWAYS corporate greed. If you're ever in question, yes. It's corporate greed.
