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:
