The price of Huggies diapers went up 6% between April- June 2023.
Inflation, right? Wrong.
Kimberly-Clark, the maker of Huggies, reported that the cost to make its products fell by $75 million.They took the money and ran, banking $168 million in operating profits in Q3 2023.
Now, new research shows that corporate profits drove 53% of inflation during the 2nd and 3rd quarters of 2023. During the 40 years prior to the pandemic, profits drove just 11% of price growth.

I just learned about the carbonmapper.org site which maps out #methane leaks around the globe 🌎 using #satellite data 🤯
Methane is a potent #greenhouse gas (28x more potent than #CO2), and it needs to be flared off or otherwise mitigated.
This satellite #data has high enough resolution that you can clearly see the source in many cases. I just signed up for their mailing list.
