Analysis by the European Central Bank shows that a considerable percentage of inflation can be attributed to corporate profits. In the food sector, higher costs were not just passed on to consumers, but used as a pretext for disproportionate price increases. #dkpol

🤔While we're on the subject of Elon Musk, let's not forget his business genius.

"The bottom line is that government spending increased under DOGE..."

DOGE did not find $2T in fraud, but that doesn’t matter, Musk allies say
Musk allies spin DOGE as having a "higher purpose" beyond federal budget cuts.
