Seems last time we wanted the gov't to control pricing......

We already do that. Have been for decades.

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....

It’s interesting that people are actually buying the right wing claptrap that battling price gouging is the same as prce fixing. It’s not remotely close but it doesn’t stop idiots from calling it communism.

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.

Well, first I have to apologize to YA.....forgot for a second he left the R party. Apologies, lost my head there.

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.

No need to apologize, but thank you.

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

"Giving Kamala Harris control over inflation policy, it's like giving Jeffrey Epstein control over human trafficking policy."

Who's is going to clue him in as to whose plane (and it's former owner) the campaign is using?

I hope the charter company disinfected the plane when they bought it.

Great reporting there, Jimmy Olsen

The Miami Herald discovered that the plane's serial number matched that of a plane of the same type, the Gulfstream G550, that was registered to one of Epstein's companies in 2018. However, the Herald found that the plane that Trump chartered was not the so-called "Lolita Express" plane, which Epstein reportedly used to traffic underage girls. Epstein sold that plane in 2017 and it has since been destroyed.

I never mentioned Lolita Express only that the plane the campaign was using was once owned by Epstein. In refererence to JDouchebag's stupid comments about Epstein.

A midnight national poll by WaPo/ABC:

Harris leads Trump 51% to 45% (among likely voters).

In a full-field test, she leads 49% to 45% among LVs.

Favorability ratings (RVs, I think):
Harris 45/44
Trump 35/57.

Brand new ABC News poll out this am has Harris up 6 over Trump among likely voters. Independents have moved from Trump up by 4 to now Harris up by 11!. Harris favorability is 45/44, net +1. Trump favorability is 35/57, net -22! He is lower today than when he lost in 2020.

https://x.com/mattyglesias/status/182513538313630530

https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/harris- ... =112865487

ABC poll has Harris winning the election on the strength of strong margins on mental and physical health, honesty, and values.

Trump still favored on the economy & immigration.



AND:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics ... psos-poll/





Dunno why tRump leads on economics issue since he screwed the economy and Biden built it back up. But again, this only shows popularity ratings, not electoral college numbers. We shall have to wait until the election for those numbers.

Must have been the R convention?

There's a huge amount of effort left to bring this home and I continue to see Harris as more vulnerable to the downside than Trump, but they're certainly executing well whereas Trump world is imploding with middle of the road voters.
