[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Forcing lower prices will force many businesses to close, thereby forcing many employees to lose their jobs, and forcing empty shelves in stores everywhere.

The average net profit of chain grocery stores like Walmart, Kroger, Albertsons etc. is 1 to 3 percent. If you like price controls you will love bare shelves and the commissars controlling your life.

Who’s going to make something that makes no profit or loses money? Companies have to make a profit and have to make money for to stay in business and for their investors. The government takes tax dollars and is trillions in debt; any other business that operates like the government would be bankrupt decades ago. They would not have a business.

They aren’t looking at price control of food lion or Giant or Wegmans. They are looking at the huge conglomerates selling to these places which, yes, are making insane profits.

Last week, inflation on computer goods and food was destroying out economy.  Today, you’re fine with it?  What’s the difference? (Besides Harris coming up with a plan that addresses your concerns?)

Are you now saying the price of groceries, which play a big role in the CPI and inflation, should not be addressed. Are you rooting for Orange Man so hard that you are willing to pay 25% more for groceries?  Because I am not.
