Vice President Kamala Harris on Friday is expected to call for a federal ban on price gouging to lower grocery prices and everyday costs for Americans in her first economic policy speech
Details...details... "the devil is in the details".
What price would Kamala suggest for a loaf of bread?
Price that was before she became VP which was: In 2020 loaf of bread $1.54 -------
Price today: Loaf of bread: $2.54 in 4 years nearly DOUBLE the price.

So what will the supermarket, especially the smaller neighborhood store in what are called.."food deserts" that don't have enough volume?
The small "food desert" grocery store will have to pay MORE to the bread delivery group because THEY won't be able to give the "food desert" store the same discounts they are giving the supermarkets which buy at a larger volume and the delivery cost is lower, i.e. gas, labor etc.
So what will happen to the grocery store? They can't raise the prices on anything as they are the last stop in buying bread, etc.
Kamala and all ignorant people don't understand how this works don't obviously understand what "price gouging" is.
The small local grocery store in the "food desert" will close!
