Awesome, local IGAs are going to hurt and possibly close, and your major chains are going to hire even shittier workers and pay them even less.
It’s stunning how democrats only ever want to “fix” (subsidize, regulate, etc.) things at the end of the chain where it’s most expensive and least effective rather than earlier in the chain where it could have a positive impact.

Harris will propose, what her campaign bills as “the first-ever federal ban on price gouging on food and groceries—setting clear rules of the road to make clear that big corporations can’t unfairly exploit consumers to run up excessive corporate profits on food and groceries
Uh... please define "run up excessive corporate profits".

Good. It’s time we tackle the bad-faith actors that make billions off our good supply. - VOR(noted Centrist), NawlinsTiger9, tboy, cwill, Green Chili Tiger, etc

absolutely nothing will come of this, other than she is out there saying things people want to hear....but for one, the grocer companies are barely making a profit now...so they can't reduce prices. What cackles doesn't understand is that everything (labor, shipping, materials) has gone up significantly.....but you still have women on facebook who 100 believe it is just greedy corporations causing this. God help us if Harris wins. She doesn't have a clue about economics or foreign policy.....or anything for that matter, other than wokeness.

just wait till you see what happens when people have to fight to feed their families.
I’ve been saying all along that the American people are complacent enough that it will take an inability to feed their children for things to finally pop off.
This is what they want (or at least THINK they want). They’re tired of waiting.

They really are and I’m convinced it’s because the majority do not work and the ones that do pay no taxes.

If they wanted to get rid of 'assault weapons' they would put price controls on them.

Honestly, I’m not sure what would be better for the Trump campaign: her announcing this and keeping it as a plank in her platform or her announcing it, getting called in and spanked by her handlers for being so stupid, then having to walk it back.

A short article about the Nixon disaster with price controls. Can't believe somebody is dumb enough to try this again.

They’re insane, completely disconnected from reality.

It worked so well in the past.

I tend to agree. This is Harris distancing herself from the disastrous economic policies of the past 4 years. See? Its not me! It’s the evil corporations!

Well, judging from a few posters on this board... she's right.
Buckl, BamaAtl and a few others come to mind.
