I wish companies would be transparent in their supply chain logistic costs.

Financial news is flooded with “X multibillion dollar company hitting record breaking profits compared YoY” type headlines. Sure some companies might be taking advantage of “inflation” to bump the price of products and pocket the profit but some others might actually need to bump their price to stay competitive.

With no insight into this, it’s impossible to discern which companies are scumbags and which ones are just surviving.

Well, Purina is Nestle so you know they're scumbags.

It's just human nature, simply complacency. At times when doing business is generally more difficult, why produce more when you can produce less and charge more? On a long enough timescale in current conditions, every business will do it eventually.

This is what has just been happening with Cal-Maine eggs for example. Exaggerating about supply chain pressures and arbitrating prices to cover production slowdown was just the easiest thing to do in the circumstances. It isn't until much later when the earnings reports come out with no substantial supply chain interruptions to mention that people start to realize what's going on, and by that point they've already siphoned hundreds of millions more from the public than the circumstances warranted.

Egg prices are dropping now. Why? There's been no recent change in cost indicated in Cal-Maine's production. The only recent news regarding their operations is the release of that earnings report. It's as if public knowledge about their record profits is somehow affecting the price of the commodity they produce?
