Choke your Chicken

Post by woodchip »

So KH now thinks Soviet style price controls will fix inflation in order to get your vote. Tell me where price control has worked? Russia? Cuba?
Venezuela? Argentina?

So maybe King Trumpkins will raise his fist, pound the table and order our monopolistic food companies to lower prices or else? How free market of him. Oh wait, he'll be king. He can just mandate a reduction of corporate profits to reduce prices for consumers by fiat. Oh, they'll really go for that. And since he's kissing buddies with the Saudis, maybe they'll kiss his ass for grins instead of getting the massive profits they now receive and lower the price of a barrel of oil out of the goodness of their hearts. :roll:

Since price controls rarely work well, maybe Harris should take a page from the French playbook.

I just realized something... You're using this place as your private twitter dump and you're screaming loudly how you hate a black woman.

How else would anyone explain the spam-like number of woodchip posts.

She scares you, like I scare you. Doesn't she?

You're scared of a woman.

Trump would be more likely as a dictator/king to invoke that. But Harris isn't calling for price controls. She claims she wants to go after monopolistic price gouging, although I don't know what she thinks the FTC could do about it either. All our meat and food supplies are controlled by only a few giant corporations. They can squeeze us dry, sit back and laugh as they rake in the massive profits while the government can't do anything about it. Oh, and sell substandard meat infected with Listeria the kills people or makes them violently ill. Ain't the free market great? 👍
