[kyzr]

Is price gouging by greedy corporations happening or not?

If so, why didn't Biden and Harris stop it, there are laws on the books already. Show us examples.

If not, then why are they lying?

That's an easy one. Biden and Harris are lying about price gouging. Its their stupid policies that are causing runaway inflation.

Harris’ plan to stop price gouging could create more problems than it solves​

Jason Furman, a top economist in the Obama administration, shared Roberts’ view that anti-price gouging laws could inadvertently harm consumers. “This is not sensible policy, and I think the biggest hope is that it ends up being a lot of rhetoric and no reality,” he told the New York Times. “There’s no upside here, and there is some downside.”

Why didn't Trumpy stop it?

Is price gouging by greedy corporations happening or not?

It happens, but I've seen no real evidence of it. There are valid reasons why prices go up; I wouldn't say that greedy corporations are the root of the problem though, because mostly the consumers can switch to other brands and alternatives. I believe there are other significant factors involved that Biden/Harris can't do shit about.

If so, why didn't Biden and Harris stop it, there are laws on the books already.

If applicable laws are broken then the Biden/Harris DOJ oughta be putting a stop to it, right? Makes you wonder if there is some politicing/backscratching going on.

If not, then why are they lying?

LOL, please.


This price gouging crap is pure politics, pandering for votes knowing full well they can't or won't do shit about it.

It's pretty simple, except for democrats who seem unable to get the concept.

You have a money supply that you increase by 20%. What happens to the value of each dollar?

Biden and Harris were successful in stopping price gouging for Insulin and other major drugs

Harris wants to apply those tools to other areas

Not just the borrowing, its when they also keep printing money that will cause the collapse of the dollar.

Good example. Now find greedy corporations for food and housing.

If "price gouging" is happening, why didn't Biden & Harris stop it?​

Because Biden/Harris are big government doosh bags who only care about implementing their policies while blaming its effects on others so they can get it done.

do you even know who is the “they” you’re referring to?

Hint: it’s not the president. They don’t control the money supply.

When the price of diesel went up, then costs for transportation went up also. Mind numb Joe Bribem voters, now Camel Toe Harris appointee voters, just are too stupid to know how economics work.

All they know, is that every month they take their EBT's to Walmart where magically there is money on the card, that they can buy their beer and stuff.

Remember, Democrats always accuse others of the same bad shit that they themselves are doing. Biden ruined our economy and now the Democrat Party, of course, blames 'gaugeing' (according to that mental 'giant' Kamala). What a stupid idiot that woman is.

How would they stop it?

Back in 1999, you could buy an ounce of gold for 900 dollars. Today it is over $2,500 an ounce. Did the gold change?
