Oh the money is there. But its all tied up with billionaires

The company behind brands like Heinz, Kraft and Philadelphia is now cutting prices (2) on some products that had grown too expensive, increasing promotions...

Yay! Prices are actually going to drop a little?!

...and rolling out smaller package sizes at lower price points.

Fucking jackals.

You mean the parasite class is having money trouble because the peasants aren't buying? How dare they opt for cheaper options when they can barely afford rent! Don't they know it's paramount to society that they slave away to engorge those who already have too much???

I'm doing my part helping put McDonald's out of business. They aren't cheap anymore and somehow the quality has gotten worse. I went from going once a week many years back to once a month then a few times a year to never. Every time I go I'm disappointed.

Oh wow, some awareness! It just doesn’t matter till it hits the bottom line of course. Don’t confuse it with compassion.

This article is shit. It's just long form advertising. Don't trust any of it.

Fox News: Wow! Lord God President of all the Universe His Holyness Emperor Trump has gifted us with such an AMAZING economy that people have SO MUCH money they can't decide what to spend it on!! They get decision paralysis and end up buying nothing! We're so winning!! Thank you Lord God Emperor Master of the Universe King Trump!

Ha, this is funny since all of those companies have lost the plot lately on pricing/value. Some (like Kraft) have also made mistakes like moving production state side and then damaged their ability to operate world wide, others (like McDonald's) have cut every corner on quality while upping their prices and spending like drunk sailors on app and ads. And they all have made choices (like Whirlpool) to make their products last less time thinking we are made of appliance every 3 years money.

This is the one silver lining on the economic collapse, there is a chance that these badly ran companies might just face consequences. Like there is still demand for product, but with wages being what they are no one is jumping on $20 big mac meals, $3 boxes of kraft dinner or $1800 fridges (that will break just after the warranty).

In a working economy these actors would find themselves out of business, instead they have lived off our credit for years selling things we can't afford. It was always going to come crashing down, but we are finally at the point that they are not denying it and now working to move blame.

"According to the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis (9), $100 in 2026 had the same purchasing power as just $11.74 did in 1970."

Now I'm no economist, but it seems like there's a way to fix this problem.

"We've tried bleeding them dry for more and more and it isn't working we're just completely out of ideas!"

Also gotta love how the article says these companies are "lowering prices" and then in the same sentence talks about them selling smaller package sizes for less money.

THAT IS NOT LOWERING PRICES THAT IS GIVING YOU LESS AT A TIME FOR LESS MONEY AT A TIME TO LOWER PRICES THE PRICE PER OUNCE HAS TO DECREASE

Whirlpool CEO can fuck the fuck off after this douchecanoe pushed for washing machine tariffs and then proceeded to raise their own prices raised to match the competitors resulting in all washers AND dryers by over a hundred dollars on average. And then they also proceed to layoff factory workers while complaining that people weren't buying US made goods.

Terrible products, over priced, paid to install a moron as president who fucks up the economy. Yeah, no pity for these fucks, go under.

Guess you guys shouldn't have funded Trump's campaign, huh?

Nothing a guillotine can’t fix

Ready? How? It is like telling someone locked in a prison cell to get ready for a fire.

"We have priced a good portion of the population out of being our customers. If there was only something we could do. I know! Let's ask the shareholders. They seem like a reasonable bunch who would not expect continued yearly profits for all eternity." /s

Make your slop cheaper or fuck off. These people really are stupid. They are greedy and lack basic positive human traits but otherwise they are just stupid.

That's an advertisement, not financial analysis.

who'd have thunk people drowning in debt wouldn't have any money for luxuries. WHO COULD HAVE SEEN THIS COMING?!

Who would have thought that if all wealth is in the hands of a few billionaires, there is no wealth left for all that can be milked...

They'll say the same thing in the 2030s after replacing all of their workers with AI once they realize that those workers are also consumers 🤯.

At the samentime there are people attending sports events where ticket is $5000, with stadiums full. Money is here it is only unfairly distributed.

Have they tried 100 year loans on a Big Mac?

The best indicator other than waffle house on how ducked this country is gonna be in a year or two

Turns out when a bunch of bigots and corporations throw their weight in behind a low IQ felon rapist to make a profit or simply to hurt others, things go off the rails for everyone.

Won’t someone please think of the innocent billion dollar company?

Kraft changed their macaroni ingredients and now it tastes like plastic, so...

It was kind of a dead giveaway when he wouldn’t even eat his own food on video

so that means they'll drop prices right?....right?

Wait so trump's 5D chess economics plan to lower prices by making everyone run out of money is working!
