and pumping up costs

  Increasing costs solely for the sake of increasing profits that is.

    An increasing monetary base ensures this. It's simple economics and baked into most monetary policy around the globe. If you take issue with increasing prices, monetary inflation (printing money) is the root cause.

      I think we're talking about cashing out a company by prioritizing short term returns over long term survival (including insulting your customers, degrading the brand, committing borderline fraud, etc) . that's pretty orthogonal to broad structural inflation.

        Ask anyone in leadership and you'll find the goal is always "outpace" inflation with shareholder value. It's very simple and so many fight tooth and nail to see what's right in front of them.
