What's "reasonable" is not a trivial matter to answer, and different people will differ in their opinion here. What goes into someone's determination for what is reasonable I think is very complex and deep, including the

Your thesis doesn't really make sense to me. You're assuming someone that is making outsized profit this year, somehow is gambling all of that profit and their existing money in some risky bet that depends on the continuation of g

So if a company got a profit hike, reinvested all of it, then had a deflation shock, they might go bankrupt If they reinvested all of it, it wouldn't have counted as profit. The study points out at outsized increased profit.

It does seem a bit lacking additional guidance. I take it that the term "database" implies you can retrieve the scraped photos, like searching for real photos taken from CCTV footage or the internet using a photo of someone's

It's more nuanced given the greedflation theory I believe. Traditionally, inflation is attributed to: increased production costs (like raw materials, labor, etc.), increased demand, and monetary factors. Greedflation instead says some

The linked study explains this, it's a mix-up of market power, global shake-ups, supply chain issues, and essential needs that affected normal market forces to self-regulate. You've got these big companies that dominate and make i

Don't fixate on the term 'greedflation,' as it's based on the widely accepted notion of corporate greed. The primary counterargument to greedflation is that companies have always been greedy; it's not a new phenomen

This has just as much explanatory power: They're able to charge higher prices because individuals are saving less than ever, believe that rising costs are due to inflation and not corporate greed, and don't perceive it as price go
