Uh huh...sure.
Apple's average net profit is around 22%..manufacturing their product in a country choked with concentration camps...full to the brim.
Exxon's is around 8%....
No one cares...evidently.
Corporations are just pieces of paper...run by ...your neighbors.
Everyone is simply trying to survive...the government.
The corps have not created this mess.

It seems like you are angry about successful people. The kool-aid is the drink of envy

WHAT? You mean like creating jobs for you and your family and others. You have a hair across your a$$ about wealthy people.

It's obvious that if a person has an idea or opinion now days, it's better keep to yourself or you'll be attacked. And that's my opinion.

I wonder if weights will rise and prices will drop if and when this 'Shrinkflation' tapers off.
Where was your indignation when a full-size Hershey bar went from 5 cents to a dime?

I think that started happening in either the late fifties, or early sixties. Jerry is not wrong, but it isn't new.

Not new - just more common and more extreme. I wonder when a pound of butter and a gallon of milk will be reduced in size.
