When they’re hoarding billions of acorns, leaving little for the other squirrels, then yes.

@agamemnonymous Which is what all squirrels would do if they could 🤷🏾‍♂️

Then yes, that’s greed.

@agamemnonymous I’m a bit curious on this point actually. Let’s say that a pack of chicken nuggets from #TysonsFoods costs $18 when it should cost $15. Where do you think a parent of children is likely to spend those extra $3?

On their many other living expenses?

I’m not sure where you’re going with this. Do you not know what living expenses are? Food, clothing, utilities, housing, etc.

@agamemnonymous Yes I do, I’m just trying to get you to think about something.

So, food, clothing, utilities, housing. Who makes money from these products and services?

The businesses that sell them. Cut to the chase.
