      “The Economy” is doing well, because price gouging is out of control.

      Regular Americans being broke and hungry helps the economy because it means we have to spend money as soon as we get it.

      The price gouging helps even more, because it’s pure profit, there’s no reason prices went up besides people will pay it when there’s no other options.

      If just fast food went up, people would eat out less, but when groceries, restaurants, and every other option for food sees price increases…

      People still got to eat
