In your opinion. I would prefer to see some more substance than just a tweet from the WH before I get all irate and mad at the world.
Well, you’re a socialist so…

That’s misleading statistic. In the first place, we are by and large not talking about Joe’s market on the corner. The 1-2% figure you are referring to is the net profit/gross revenue. For example Ahold (Giant, Kroger, etc.) had gross revenue of about $90B last year, and netted about 2B. Of that, $65B was COGS, and the remaining was operating expense. Still, a 2B profit.
Perhaps the idea is to put upward pressure on the manufacturers through the stores. In other words, if the manufacturers and distributors can be pressured to lower wholesale costs, then prices at the register can be brought down- ie. Using market forces.

Admitting you have a problem is Step 1.
Exactly what he said.
How is it misleading?
That makes sense, blame somebody else and force them to force the culprits to fix it. Maybe.
The government is a market force?

should have said net profit margin. and the 2% is net net, not gross net which is about 2.5 or 3 % if I recall correctly. it may be a bit higher or lower from quarter to quarter but overall its a low profit margin.

what difference does the dollar amount make? People do expect a ROI and 2% is peanuts

you keep saying that.
It’s 2% per store. 150 stores gives you how much profit
All the difference. Come on now
Get your filthy government fingers out of it. You (D)ip ■■■■■ are the reason this happened in the first place!

No competition in the grocery market?
“In a recent report, Telsey Group analyzed online grocery prices across seven retailers including Walmart, Target, Amazon Fresh, Kroger (King Soopers), Albertsons (Safeway), Sprouts, and Whole Foods (via Amazon) in Denver, Colorado. Analysts specifically looked into 40 key items across two categories, including “several premium items.”
Telsey Advisory Group Senior Managing Director Joe Feldman told FOX Business that Kroger and Target, which usually trade off in the number two spot, have slightly “narrowed the gap with Walmart” and are less of a price premium to the Arkansas-based retailer than they used to be. “
The problem is grocery prices have risen 20% under Biden and the administration needs someone else to blame.
