Uhhhh..that's the perspective of .01%er who wants his Monopolies left alone. So he builds a strawman that has NOTHING to do with what Kamala has mentioned. And then declares that America will burn down.youthathletics wrote: ↑Sun Aug 18, 2024 5:14 pmNo need to apologize, but thank you.a fan wrote: ↑Sun Aug 18, 2024 4:09 pmWell, first I have to apologize to YA.....forgot for a second he left the R party.

Seems last time we wanted the gov't to control pricing......
And many States have anti-gouging laws on the book, my man.
So....now what? Is your party going to get rid of the price controls and the Farm Bill and let the (snicker) free market work?
Or is the plan to keep pretending you don't support that, and throw stones at Dems for doing the same thing you and your party has supported for DECADES.
Been asking you chaps to kill the Farm Bill for YEARS now, and let rural Americans deal with the same market forces them lazy city folk have to deal with....
CEOs in their investor calls bragged about their “pricing power” with consumers as costs fell, enabling margin expansion. Moreover, there’s all sorts of signaling competitors which allows tacit collusion to keep prices higher even as other costs fall or moderate.
What is being proposed is to be able to challenge such situations and fine egregious such.
This effort needs to only be with the largest players who have such power and profits, say $100 million in annual profits or more.
Behavior will change, no price fixing.
That said.....the rest stands. The R party has been claiming in the media that this is communism. Great news...then let's stop ALL of the fiddling in the free market.
More intel and discussion on the matter, rather than calling people idiots and claiming to have all the answers, unless MD is working for Kamala and has laid out her plan: https://x.com/RobertMSterling/status/18 ... 8008391127
His solution is........what, exactly?
