> Look at their profits. This is a symptom of greed more than inflation. Inflation is just a rise in prices. Literally just defined as a rise in prices. It doesn't matter if the prices accurately reflect rising costs of doing business or wind up in profits. Inflation is more about the ability of consumers to continue to pay higher prices and the inelastic demand for whatever the good is. The market is fundamentally an auction and prices get bid up until elastic demand starts to appear.
