What do you mean government officials don’t mention reasons for inflation most of the time? That happens very often lmao. It’s used as a talking point all the time. What fantasy land are you in where government officials always act in good faith and 100% logically? Because that’s been my point this whole time, that I find that frustrating, and it really feels like everybody keeps trying to make it about something else, like I’m misunderstanding something.
I don’t understand what’s confusing. I’ve explained that by greed I don’t just mean “I want money” and I mean companies trying to do things that should be illegal. But you’re try to redefine what I mean to just inherent desire for money. I didn’t even say people shouldn’t do something, I just said it annoys me. Am I not allowed to be annoyed? I never said all people who talk about inflation, either, only some, so yes, saying you’re implying they “always act in good faith” is a fair criticism if you’re disagreeing that nobody ever does the thing I’m saying annoys me.
Again: I understand what you mean. I get it, mate.
It doesn’t matter. Nobody will mention that, because it’s just a daily thing, it’s a constant, it’s always there.
Not to mention that you don’t just go “and, by the way dear listeners, company XYZ is involve in criminal activities, due to which we have inflation”. You take them to court, not talk about it.
Am I not allowed to be annoyed?
Did I say you’re not supposed to do something here? Feel annoyed, rightly so. Just don’t expect anyone to start talking about “greed/illegal activities being [one of the causes of] inflation”, because it’s either obvious, or illegal to do so.

WTF? I never said anything remotely similar to this, mate…
I’m saying it’s annoying when economists and government officials act like greed can’t play a part in inflation when shit that should be illegal (like price colluding) happens that is purely an effect of greed.

What a weird leap that is to go from “don’t mention reasons” to “always act in good faith”. Yikes.
Greed is always a factor. Always. There’s no point mentioning it, just like there’s no point in telling someone to “remember to breathe”.
