It estimated that 148 top corporations made $1.8 trillion in profits, 52 percent up on 3-year average, allowing hefty pay-outs to shareholders even as millions of workers faced a cost of living crisis as inflation led to wage cuts in real terms.

I guess we know where all this “inflation” came from.

And stop calling it "profits", it's theft. They are stealing from customers by overcharging, and they are stealing from employees by not paying them enough.

There's absolutely no reason why their workers aren't getting a large chunk of that money, especially when "profits" are up an average of 52 goddamn percent.

When the hell is enough money enough for these assholes? What are they planning to do with all this hoarded wealth? Buy a country?
