Their ACTUAL profit margins are significantly larger and growing.

Their gross profits are up because money is worth less because of inflation. The purchasing power of those "growing" profits has basically not changed.

Go look up their net profit margins, they are going sideways.

Nobody said US debt, it's USD debt, this is basic international economics knowledge.

Inflation is the loss of purchasing power of money, not somebody raising prices. Inflating the money supply leads to loss of purchasing power.

Which company do you think is price gouging?

[-] LibreHans@lemmy.world -3 points 3 weeks ago

Stores don’t look at inflation, inflation makes the stuff they sell more expensive to buy, so they have to sell it for more money or make losses.

Fed policies like interest rates directly affect almost all countries because they have USD debt.

FED policies affect every currency on this planet as they are all backed by the usd.. the consumer price index was designed to under report inflation. The basket would be CHEAPER every year because of improvements in production if there was no inflation.
