Because that’s too late.
Culpability of one group does not absolve another of the same actions.
Because you are a socialist.
It does give them an excuse though. Is 6% unreasonable?

profiteering is the word you use when the abuse doesn’t quite raise to the level of price gouging.
how are these groc stores “price gouging”?!?

“Companies have admitted that they are raising prices not because of costs, but because they can,” Tamir says. “They are essentially hiding behind a lot of these excuses as a way to gouge consumers.”
Your link. Hence my question earlier about excuses.
Interesting article. Love the numbers in giant red letters. Very outrage-generating.
You just gave the stores an out.

A 300% increase over 2.5 years is unreasonable.
Is it? Why?
Is a 6% profit margin unreasonable?

however why don’t we wait for actual details on what Biden wants to do
Because that’s too late.
Well thats weird. How can someone have an informed response to something without having accurate information.

thats not price gouging. that’s due to economic policy
like wasting dozens and dozens of billions of dollars on our 51st state Ukraine

Government does not “put back.” Does not reset.
That’s one of the reasons the Constitution and delegated powers are so important.
Regulating grocery prices is not a delegated power.
The minute Brandon has a “plan” he is creeping.
It is not the purview of central government to regulate grocery prices or establish price controls in this country. To protect citizens from capitalism.
Don’t like the price of eggs? Go somewhere else or keep chickens.
They are all blaming “inflation.” Who caused the inflation jacking with the money supply?
Who keeps demanding higher labor costs?

Is it? Why?

Because they priced out the poorest of our citizens. They’ve taken advantage of pandemic pricing and aren’t reducing prices now that things have nomalized.
Who says he is wanting to regulate grocery prices or establish price controls? That is you going to the extreme as usual.

History. And his (their) motivation is all wrong.

The accusation is profiteering. What other means does Brandon have at his disposal to address the accusation?

Who says he is wanting to regulate grocery prices or establish price controls?
thats exactly what he is looking to do
mommy media just knows better than to call it that. they have an election to “win”

Because they priced out the poorest of our citizens.
should the government make everything affordable to everyone?

This caught my eye.
Partnering with 31 state attorney generals to go after grocery changes?
Another step closer to becoming the Soviet Union.
I love the way the libs pretend to hate the Russians and then try to push us in that direction.

what would AG’s have to do with grocery prices?
Is Biden working with AG’s? I cannot find anything to confirm that.
But if there is any evidence that grocery stores are price gouging don’t you think that should be discussed and looked into?
So don’t look at Biden, look at the grocery stores? You’ve shown no evidence that grocery stores are price gouging.
Prices are up because of the massive inflation biden created with his wild out of control wasteful spending.
Look at the stores not me!!!
