Target profit plunges 90% as inflation-weary shoppers pull back
www.cnn.com
Target reported profit plunged 90% in the second quarter, falling far short of expectations, as inflation-weary customers pulled back on spending on nonessential items.

Like this is a genuine question for me. There seems to be some lack of awareness on the part of the people who make decisions that a consumers need to have money to consume with or the whole system siezes like an engine with no grease. The plebes need to be given back some share of profits so they can continue to purchase stuff and keep the whole system from breaking down.

    to attempt a more serious answer to your question, they each follow their individual perceived class interest. so although they might be able to agree that they should throw the proles a bone, shared class interest can't help them agree on how the pain should be distributed amongst them (the bourgeoisie) especially as the institutions become increasingly sclerotic

      Like with the water in the west, where instead of trying to fix water rights in any way the Feds are just like "California was there first so they get their full amount the rest of you are getting cuts. No changes in what crops are being grown, no improvements in efficiency, no solutions, just kicking that can down the road.
