At a recent speech, it was clear that Biden blames supermarket chains despite several factors beyond their control raising prices.

There are still too many corporations in America ripping people off: price gouging, junk fees, greedflation, shrinkflation,' Biden said.

Joe Biden has suggested supermarkets should defy the laws of supply and demand to lower soaring prices that threaten his chances of re-election.

'There are still too many corporations in America ripping people off: price gouging, junk fees, greedflation, shrinkflation,' he said at a speech in South Carolina last week.

'Americans, we're tired of being played for suckers and that's why we're going to keep these guys - keep on them and get the prices down.'

White House aides told The New York Times that Biden was taking aim at supermarkets - and that more is to come.
OK, in normal people speak:

PRICE CONTROLS. Meaning shortages. They are going to make 1970s gas shortages with their lines and insanity (happen with groceries). Then there will be places that limit how much you can buy.

Blah, they will do everything BUT lower taxes, get rid of regulations (by regulation, I mean where they try and stop people from doing an actually bad thing by not allowing them to do other things) ... they will not get rid of government enforced monopolies, and they especially won't stop inflating the currency supply.

That and if inflation is the result of greedy corporations, why don't we have high inflation all of the time? It's not like the grocery lobby hasn't been fucking folks raw like forever.

This is stupid on so many levels. Beyond price controls=shortages, you have to consider how many grocery stores will just close up shop. Margins are tiny in that business and why EBT is so prominent in their business models.

What a FJB grocery store will look like:

Horrible monetary policy is the reason for much of this inflation. Money supply all over the place creating a.squeeze in the Middle Class but generating big profits for conpanies with little effort or innovation.

COVID gave them the opening to increase prices due to the talk of supply shortages...that was 3 years ago, the supply shortages are no longer or in the least minimized and prices should go down with supply increases.

Corporations have had RECORD PROFIT the last couple of years with all the price increases, which means they are getting those profits from gouging us, is the concern.....and should be the concern.

There is no such animal as "price gouging". It's just a made-up term that the poors and the unprepared use. ;)
 
Corporate profits - not revenue, profits - are at a 70 year high.

That's your high-priced groceries, not this imaginary inflation, which is now around 3%.
 

President Joe Biden took aim at grocery stores, blaming them for "ripping people off" with high pricing amid the continued inflation blame game.

President Biden's remarks came during a speech at the South Carolina’s First in the Nation Dinner in Columbia, South Carolina.

"Inflation is coming down. It’s now lower in America than any other major economy in the world," Biden said. "The cost of eggs, milk, chicken, gas, and so many other essential items have come down."

"But for all we’ve done to bring prices down, there are still too many corporations in America ripping people off: price gouging, junk fees, greedflation, shrinkflation," the president continued.

The president said that Americans are "tired" of being "played for suckers" by grocery stores across the country.

"Well, it’s going to stop. Americans, we’re tired of being played for suckers," Biden said to resounding applause. "And that’s why we’re going to keep these guys — keep on them and get the prices down."

Comment:
Biden is depending upon dumb people to believe his BS.
Biden and the Dems caused the inflation crisis with their greedy unnecessary $trillion dollar$ spending spree.
Now they are attempting to be the saviors of their own inflation crisis.
This is the sort of stuff that makes the Democrat Party a crazy political cult.

He does know that his party is the one jacking up minimum wages so they have no choice but to raise prices doesn't he?
