They claim inflation but that is only part of the story.
Rabbi Finklestein from the Synogogue of Satan says that they control most of the resources which they sell to manufacturers to manufacture products. They hoard oceans of these resources and release only a little bit to the public at very higher prices (ie oil prices).
They also printed 5x the amount of money the US had ever printed and gave most of it to the Corporations and $1600 to regular families during Covid. This created a massive tilt to Corporate profits. They also forced ma and pa businesses to partially shut down making corporaitons even richer.
Now with all that money, the Corporations aren't worried about slow sales. They don't need to drop prices. They just keep prices high and if they lose money, they are ok because they have so much in their vault.
One example is that the average diamond should cost like $20 but they sell them for $1000 or more. This is because the main bulk of diamonds are hidden from society making it seem like there aren't many diamonds in circulation.

The Rate of Inflation is a measure of the rate of change, not a cause. It is not a force. So already you seem to have misunderstood the topic.
Prices of goods are set by the buyer. People either buy them if they consider them sufficient value or not. Even for goods forced on them such as vehicle insurance, some people opt to take the risk. If it is utilities they work out straegies to reduce consumption.
Keep defending your masters agent Smith. Look up the Rabbi Finklestein interview. He explains how they control the prices the same way I did here.
He explains how they try to control prices. Do you trust a rabbi's word now?
Anyway, Maximizing Revenue is not orthogonal to buyers controlling prices.
The rabbi admitted they control the prices to control the economy. Not just for profit.
