Who's running these companies? Who are those companies' major shareholders?

Im pretty sure you were talking about them not having a legitimate cause for complaint, since they made record profits.

And then WhoIzDiz is saying they complain without a legitimate reason about lots of things.

Not really disagreeing with your point.

Unless you mean you disagree that most of the corporate grocery chins are run by Republicans.

I was sarcastically pointing out that having records profits doesn't mean you aren't allowed to complain about theft.

Oh! I took it as a serious remark about whining about hungry people pilfering while engaging in wage theft, price gouging, and exploitation of food producers.

Apparently all that subtext isn't obvious to everyone...

Making record profits doesn't magically make it okay to steal from you. It's perfectly valid to complain if someone does. This is pretty obvious stuff.
