[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a $10 bottle of salad dressing that was $5 less than a year ago.

[b]Now what? What will a Harris administration do to fix that?[/b][/quote]

What will Trump do? She's going after price gouging. Can't do anything about the past -- which, as you know, affected every other country as well and with a worse recovery than the U.S.[/quote]

"She's going after..."

What does that even mean?[/quote]

Supporting the House and Senate to pass anti-price-gouging bills.

The Dems offered one up post COVID and the GOP voted it down.

So, try again but this time, hopefully with a majority in both the House and Senate.[/quote]

Uh, it's a product or service.  Purchase it or don't.

There's no such thing as price gouging. No one is forcing you to buy anything.

This is really f'n basic stuff.[/quote]

So when COVID happens and the same milk or egg price triples, there is nothing that should be done about it?

Y'all been complaining about "inflation" for 3 years. The inflation passed, this is price gouging the consumer.[/quote]

Nope. Nothing can be done.

If you tell me I have to sell X for $Y, I'll walk away and sell somewhere else.  You'll create black markets and shortages.[/quote]

Uh no. That's only if there are supply constraints. If you're a monopoly, then you can dictate the price and create excess profits. Those monopolies can be broken up or regulated. You can also tax excess profits. That won't create shortages and will be hard to create black markets.[/quote]

Uh no. I've have the subject matter expertise to produce and distribute the product.  I'll just put it on a boat and move it overseas OR offshore altogether.  Half of the companies you are talking about are not monopolies and the other half aren't even in the U.S.

Don't know why you suddenly went to "monopolies".  Was that easy thinking for you?[/quote]

You are going to offshore milking cows or chicken-laying-eggs?[/quote]

Well, we send a huge amount of water to Saudi Arabia in the form of alfalfa from Arizona (farms often Saudi-owned) for their cows. Not as if Arizona doesn't need it, either. [/quote]
