>So I keep hearing the same two narratives over and over, we printed money and what do we expect (?), and supply chain issues.
Supply chain claims are fairly baseless. The assertion being that supply is low, demand stays the same. prices go up. The obvious argument is that when the supply chain issues are resolved, you would require deflation. Which is certainly not coming and not happening.
>With all do respect supply chain/monetary policy concerns are a cover for what is really going on, lack of competition in the market.
If this is true, the easiest way to become rich right now is to simply create competitors.
>The market is not rationale right now as we have allowed these mega mergers and pushed out all small competitors. That 7.5% inflation is them coordinating prices and sticking the profits back into their investors pockets, then using supply chain and monetary policy as cover in the media.
If this lack of competition is what is happening. They will actually come buy you out and shut you down. You likely wouldn't even have to do much to compete.
- CameronNemo 5y agoThey will actually come buy you out and shut you down. There are a million anticompetitive maneuvers short of a buyout. Off the top of my head: * dumping to eat into your profit and bleed you out * punishing retailers who stock your items, or payment providers who service your site * buying up inputs for several cycles so that you cannot hope to even stock your goods
