This is bat... shit... fucking... crazy. A US presidential campaign proposing price caps on food production.
- There have been bans on this kind of things in the past. There were people price gouging bottled water during the pandemic.CyBrainX
- Nixon had a price lock on meat for a few months in the 70s.CyBrainX

- Hi Chat, please explain governments imposing price caps on food production.IRNlun6
- Gotta love Trump supporter being like "this is crazy"yuekit
- she has a third-world mentality. price control is the lazy man way of controlling inflation. All it does is create food shortage and doesn't solve root issue.hotroddy
- Trump is proposing a 10% tariff on all products imported into the country.yuekit
- Isn't that communism just like in the third world? And wouldn't it actually supercharge inflation?yuekit
- Trump's priority is making inflation great again.formed
- https://www.cbsnews.…yuekit
- Let's see if hotroddy says Trump has a third world mentality. What he's proposing would actually be far more disruptive than what Harris is talking about.yuekit
- https://abcnews.go.c…hotroddy
- Free trade only makes the rich grow richer and the working class poorer.hotroddy
- OK sounds good comradeyuekit
- You shouldn't have a problem with some hypothetical anti-price gouging laws then.yuekit
- she's tackling inflation like she just fell out of a coconut treehotroddy
- Just another American-empire supporting centrist scumbag fucking BITCH.Khurram
- Speaking of which - how's that proxy war going in Ukraine yuekit? You don't post in that thread anymore. How come? >_<Khurram
- and Fuck Russia as wellutopian
- Well Russia's proxy war has stagnated hasn't it? They control less land now than at the start of the war but things have not changed much in the past year.yuekit
- And with Trump's chances of winning the election diminishing it looks like a quagmire stretching as far into the future as the eye can see. But we'll see whatyuekit
- happens. What you seem to forget is that none of this is actually hurting the Great Satan USA, it's hurting Russia (and Ukraine of course).yuekit
- You really think, the American Empire isn't crumbling and failing? They can't even defend Israel anymore you fucking fool.Khurram
- But please go post your good news in that thread you seem to have lost interest in. You know, now that the mighty Switzerland is allow arms shipments.Khurram
- Switzerland! You remember? Posting about Switzerland joining the mighty American cause? >_<Khurram
- You will BEG Russia for mercy.,,,Khurram
- An what "Russian proxy"?? They're fighting them directly dum dum.Khurram
- And what "quagmire"? The territory the Russians have taken are completely quiescent. Not an insurgency anywhere.Khurram
- Those people of East Ukraine are well shot of those Nazi-infused Western Ukrainians.Khurram
- Not to mention, ,20% of Ukraine' s territory most mineral rich territory will now FOREVER be Russian. As well as the land bridge to Crimea. As well as CrimeaKhurram
- And NATO and the Western alliance is failing the biggest test it has ever faced.Khurram
- I'm old enough to remember when you were insisting Russia wouldn't invade and it was all Western propaganda. But sure tell us more about what's going to happen.yuekit
- Crack geopolitical analyst Khurram is mad that I'm not posting more often in the Ukraine war thread.yuekit
- Flooding the country with cheap steel would destroy steel manufacturing in America. Same for every product that was once manufactured in the US.IRNlun6
- https://www.qbn.com/…yuekit
- Importing cheap product = lost American businesses.IRNlun6
- Grocery stores operate on very thin margins, 1-2%. They make up the profit on volume. Price controls are a solution to a misdiagnosed problem.IRNlun6
- Price gouging is not the reason for inflation. Producers pay that cost as well. Now Kamala wants to go to war with them. It’s our food supply. That’s batshit.IRNlun6
- No one's talking about flooding the country with cheap steel, Trump is saying he's going to add a 10% baseline tariff on all imports and 60% on China.yuekit
- Since there won't be replacements available for many products the inevitable outcome of that is that prices will increase.yuekit
- Every economic analysis I've seen thinks it's a terrible idea. It would have a much greater impact than anything Kamala Harris is proposing.yuekit
- But you seem to be fine with this or maybe just oblivious to it. As far as "why did inflation happen", this graphic may help explain it...yuekit
- https://i.imgur.com/…yuekit
- There are reasons for that of course...the COVID pandemic. But Trump's tariffs didn't help either.yuekit
- Steel is an import yuekit. Tariffs were placed on steel imports to protect American steel manufacturing. It’s a national security threat.IRNlun6
- Every country we export to imposes tariffs on us. It’s a negotiation the American middle class has been losing for decades.IRNlun6
- You seem determined to ignore what I'm saying. No one is saying all tariffs are bad. Trump is talking about adding an additional 10% tariff on everything.yuekit
- https://www.cbsnews.…yuekit
- You agree then? Price gouging did not cause inflation. Kamala is proposing a bad solution to a misdiagnosed problem.IRNlun6
- Did you even know about this before I mentioned it?yuekit
- Trump is also talking about eliminating the independence of the Federal Reserve and making it subservient to the president's political needs.yuekit
- These are all terrible, economically illiterate ideas. If Kamala proposed them you'd be screaming communism, third world etc.yuekit
- https://www.project-…yuekit
- Yes, I’m aware. It’s a negotiation with our trade partners. Don’t want to pay? Don’t charge us. Many big businesses and trade organizations don’t like that.IRNlun6
- Hurts their bottom line.IRNlun6
- I don't know if you've actually read the news, but one of the companies being targeted is Kroger, who is doing actual gouging and implementing..garbage
- ..dynamic pricing, ie when more people shop, things cost more. It's actual surge pricing and gouging.garbage
- @IRNlun6 It will lead to a situation where every company has to go begging to Trump for an exception from the tariffs. Exactly the opposite of free market.yuekit
