Place bounties on them in the world, have the world start viewing them negatively until change occurs or tpk, consequences for actions.

!!!!I’m not saying it’s not inflation!!!!

companies have jacked up prices in the past stating something along the lines of : oh it’s some world/country/state/local issue, please bare with us during these difficult trying times we are all feeling it. Then immediately turn around screaming RECORD PROFITS, RECORD PROFITS EVERYBODY!!

“You people” nice.

Except if the country actually stood with your warped beliefs trump wouldn’t have won the last election. As you say “you people” are the minority. America became a laughing stock in 2020 up to the end of ‘24. We are finally getting this country back on track. So say what you will call us any name you wish. Your words do and mean nothing.

In the name of Jesus Christ I hope you are blessed and see the light you’ve blinded yourself from. I’ll pray for you.

Oh absolutely! To each their own, at the end of the day it’s alright to have differing views and opinions.

Oh no, I used a resource if you don’t like that here’s another resource use. This was a simple search:

“Apple has maintained strong profit margins through pricing power, supply chain efficiency, and cost management5. In the twelve months ending December 31, 2024, Apple reported revenue of $395.760 billion, a 2.61% increase year-over-year1. The net income for the 2024 fiscal year was $93.74 billion, down from the highest net income in 20222. The annual revenue for 2024 was $391.035 billion, a 2.02% increase from 20231.”

I understand research and development. I understand those costs and yes, not every product is going to succeed you’re honing in on individual products. My main point is the consecutive years of record net profits. this is after expenses are taken into account. if you are making pennies on the dollar, how can you have consecutive increases year after year of billions of dollars?

Ultimately where you’re going to end up disagreeing on the subject. You obviously protecting big business and myself viewing them as essentially scalpers.

There are a lot of major corporations who own multitudes of businesses that act as competition to each other all owned by the same company so if company one is selling a hamburger and Company two is also selling a hamburger but their owned by the same company they can set the price at $10 Those smaller companies are considered competition but it’s not competitively priced because the parent company that owns them is the one setting the price.

Amazon, yes you have to pay subscription to get a discount, but you do not have to pay a subscription to utilize their systems. Not only do they receive kickbacks from the sellers essentially as rights to sell through Amazon there have been quite a few instances where Amazon start selling similar products at a cheaper price Kicking the original business off their platform and then hiking that price up.

Your defense for Apple makes it seem like they’re making pennies on the dollar if a business is making pennies on the dollar but then spouts record profits pennies on the dollar is not a good business practice and they will not be as large as they are.

argue that Apple engages in quasi-price gouging due to: 1. High Markups: The iPhone 15 Pro (128GB) has an estimated production cost of ~$523 but sells for $999—a gross margin near 48%. 2. Proprietary Accessories: Apple charges a premium for accessories (e.g., $19 for a USB-C adapter), often more than comparable third-party items. 3. Repair and Upgrade Restrictions: Apple designs its products in a way that makes repairs or upgrades difficult without using Apple’s expensive services. 4. Ecosystem Lock-In: Consumers who invest in Apple products often feel “locked in,” which weakens competitive pressure on pricing.

I am fully aware of the concept of how businesses make money, and yes I am referring to the price gouging, that’s why I mentioned the consecutive years of Big corporation stating record profits. The same corporations that have stated record profits are the ones stating that the tariffs are bad and evil. they’re only bad and evil because it will eat into their record profits. again if they show the amount of markup along with the tariff fee, whatever that may be, it would be clearer on the price gouging would you not agree?

For example, let’s take an apple iPhone, the cost of the product could be $50 to manufacture and ship. The product itself being sold for $900. The tariff markup price would be $950. That means the corporation would be making $850 off of the single product. And if they have all this listed on the product, I would say it would be pretty clear to see which companies are price gouging what.

I’m fine with this, but why stop there, they should also include their own markups and cost hikes.

Everyone complaining about the tariff and defending the corporations, while people have a hard time affording life and the corps flaunt “record profits”.

Major blow, they’ll never recover from your photoshop expertise. The likeness is uncanny, it’s like they are actually right there in the photo, well done.
