I noticed “shrinkflation” decades ago and noticed it again in the last few Biden years.
A typical example is a sports drink that came in a cylinder shaped plastic bottle. Now it is a slight hour glass shaped bottle. “NEW! EASIER TO GRASP BOTTLE!” was the come on. You lost maybe a third of the original contents by going to an hourglass bottle but it still cost as much as the original straight side bottle.

I should mention I also opened a can of mixed vegetables not long ago. It was two thirds full of vegetables. The rest was water. Not like the olden days when such a can would be packed to the top with vegetables.

"Shrinkflation" is a secondary effect of financing a highly profitable orgy of mass murder.

Also corporate greed of corporations such as Raytheon which have interlocking directorates with the DoD.

"...if you're a company whose input prices have come down and you're not passing those savings along to the consumer, he will call you out.”

What input prices have come down on anything? Who's Biden trying to fool?

Exactly.

Most of the people who vote for these tax increases, etc can not see beyond the tips of their noses.

They then get pissed over the high taxes, so they move to another state only to repeat their shortsighted voting habits.
