Kamala Harris says she’s going to lower prices.

[citygator]

There is not. Prices rise when the providers costs rise.

That’s not how pricing works.

Hey, moron, why did he talk to Russia and OPEC about cutting production in 2020?

Try to focus. Maybe put down the bong?

How does pricing work when your inputs get more expensive?

All that matters is what people will pay for goods. You think I drop my price when shipping goes down? Nope. I bank the profit. If I think I can get $2 more from a customer I will price that way regardless of cost.

Oil prices are based on demand. Not cost.

And if one of your competitors drops their price when shipping goes down, you'll lose sales.

Reacting to competition makes sense. So does reacting due to demand going up or down. So does reacting due to supply shortages or overstocks. Changing price due to costs doesnt.

Jesse Watters Primetime open last night:



2:32 Milton Friedman clip from 1978......explains price controls to a tee.

Jesse shows clips how Kamala has freaked out the Democrats and Wall Street, even CNN and MSNBC.

That is how it works. When costs for the producers and suppliers rise, the cost for the consumer rises. Even an idiot knows that.

Harris’ idea of price controls will lead to two things. Shortages and rationing. Government imposed price controls don’t work.

We have a supply and demand economy.

Tell us how it works.


This ought to be good.

When I reduce my prices because my shipping costs went down, demand for my goods will increase. You don't have to react by dropping your prices.

WOW.

I just told you, IDIOT.
Quid Pro Quo.

Try to focus. Maybe put down the bong?

Focusing for you, isn't my job.

Quid Pro Quo with a 4-year delay? Damn, you're some kind of retard.

Well, that is true to. But it is not proof gouging doesn't occur.

90% of US food comes from 99% of farms, that are family owned.
The other 10% of food comes from the 1% of farms, owned by corporations.

Food isn't a monopoly, there are thousands of suppliers trying to sell their products.
"Price gouging" is a straw that democrats are trying to grasp as an excuse for their mismanagement.
Democrat's open borders and the 12,000,000 illegals that they let into the US increased food demand without increasing supply, plus the illegals get free food! Here is what that means...:"they are killing us without killing us"

So you are saying what "price gouging" is to the Democrats, is the same as the "border issue" for Republicans?

Yep. Just another wankfest.
