The statement from her campaign said she would concentrate on the meat industry because, “soaring meat prices have accounted for a large part of Americans’ higher grocery bills, even as meat processing companies registered record-breaking profits following the pandemic.”
OK let’s look at the meat industry
COVID and the Ukraine war raised the price of grain and resulted in a large increase in the price of meat. That is understandable
But once those grain prices came back down, high prices were maintained and profits for the meat industry rose.
Harris wants to go after those profits
There was SOME, LIMITED price gouging--TRUE gouging, not inflation--during the pandemic. Since I'm not a true libertarian, I have no problem with the govt going after price gougers. But that is NOT why prices remain high now. They are high now because of govt-caused inflation. And price FIXING will only make that worse.
Look up the Weimar Republic, if you dare.
And you don't have to vote for Trump. Just don't vote for Harris. If you do, you will be blamed when everything tanks.
