CMV: Inflation, by definition, cannot be blamed on "Corporate greed." Anyone (like Bernie Sanders) attempted to do so should be held accountable for spreading misinformation

But the problem is, I can even concede the "greed" aspect to you and it still makes Bernie completely wrong.

Let's say corporations are greedy for trying to make as much money as possible. They're not, but fine, let's say that.

Well, they were also trying to make as much money as possible 3 years ago, and 5 years ago, and 10 years ago, and prices weren't skyrocketing then.

So you can use whatever definition you want - it's a horrible explanation of the inflationary crisis. We both know this, Bernie knows it. He's intentionally dumbing this down to appeal to his base to sew dissension and hate, and should be held accountable for his subversiveness. That's my opinion.
