Losses are socialised, profits are privatized.

What infuriates me (as an aussie) is my government telling us that fertilizer and diesel shortages will increase the cost of agriculture. They've asked farmers to try to absorb as much of the supply side cost increases as they can bear. They've asked consumers to expect higher prices and not to panic buy. What they haven's done is put in place temporary regulations targeting war profiteering, or asked the corporations who own the supermarkets posting multi-billion dollar profits to forgo some of those profits and do their part to absorb some of the expense. We're all expected to tighten our belts and pay more for less while corporations are entitled to keep raking in money hand over fist. Honestly the only thing that makes it bearable is knowing how mad people are going to get about it.

Electricity, water, gas, internet, healthcare, housing. Necessities for human life should not have a profit motive attached, ever. Tax wealth, not work. We're with you Gary.

Anyone working full-time understands the accuracy of what Gary is explaining. You are so tired all the time and have no money to show for it. Rent is 50% of your income nowadays, then it's food, transportation, insurance etc. etc. and there's nothing left. We need the assets back! I just want a home, a retirement, and something left over to enjoy my life a bit.
