"This isn't just happening with diapers. It's happening across our entire economy. Inflation rose 14% between July 2020 and July 2022. But corporate profits rose by 75% over those two years — five times as fast as inflation. Remember when the media said “greedflation” was a fringe theory? Now looking back, it's undeniable."

1. "This isn't just happening with diapers. It's happening across our entire economy. Inflation rose 14% between July 2020 and July 2022. But corporate profits rose by 75% over those two years — five times as fast as inflation. Remember when the media said “greedflation” was a fringe theory? Now looking back, it's undeniable." Robert Reich @RBReich The price of Huggies diapers went up 6% between April- June. Inflation, right? Wrong. Kimberly-Clark, the maker of Huggies, reported that the cost to make its products *fell* by $75 million. They took the money and ran, banking $168 million in operating profits in Q3 2023.
