 I wonder why this isn’t in the 8 minute clip from mainstream? It seems like something he would say but it’s not part of the 8 minute interview. He took her to task in the 8 minute interview but this clip is the most important message (ie, look at profit margins and you’ll see that companies struggle with inflation just like the people). I guess this clip could be an AI fake or something cut out of the interview. Either way, it would have been the most important message he could have conveyed if it were part of the interview. I think this profit margin discussion is the best way to help people to understand that corporations aren’t the direct cause of inflation. Everyone wants to blame rich people and corporations. Their lobbying for low interest rates doesn’t help but they don’t create the money so they are not directly to blame.
