[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do you determine when companies are price gauging? [/quote] Most of them have been, the past couple years. There's data.[/quote] Please tell us about this data and where it is.[/quote] https://www.theguardian.com/business/2024/jan/19/us-inflation-caused-by-corporate-profits Good prices still up 25% since COVID while companies pst record profits. A lot of is because these companies have monopolies, or near monopolies. Capitalism would be breaking these huge companies up so that consumers have several options in each sectors and companies have to compete with each other on price and quality. Monopolies that aren’t competing on price and setting prices that allow for huge profits while some Americans go hungry are anti-capitalist (and antirust violation#). You wanted her to talk about the economy. You asked for specific policy. Here you go. Unless you didn’t want economic policies. PS— haven’t seen the policy, but would be it would be going after companies violating anti-trust laws. Which has certainly been done in the US- although more so with railways, electricity, etc. proce gouge away on OV purses. Food is a necessity and monopolies in food sectors should not be allowed to price gouge. [/quote] Show me a single company that can exist without making a profit. Tell me why the US government is trillions in debt.[/quote] 57% of the debt is the direct result of the GOP passing tax cuts without corresponding cuts in spending. W and Trump. 57% [/quote]
