Last year, corporate profits soared to a 70-year high as companies shamelessly used inflation as an excuse to gouge consumers. Drug companies. Food giants. Big Oil. They blew the doors off with record profits even as the world burns and people suffer.
But you would hardly know this was happening, according to the corporate media.
Yet Common Dreams has covered this story tirelessly in order to make sure this story of corporate greed is told, and the accepted mainstream stories about what’s driving inflation are challenged.
You’ll find such coverage in few other places, because only truly independent media can accurately report these facts without fear of reprisal from powerful executives worried about the wrath of advertisers (or their own financial portfolios).
To keep Common Dreams on solid footing going forward, we’ve set a Winter Campaign goal of raising $80,000 while also signing up 200 new monthly donors by March 1 to keep us strong in the months ahead.
