I mean you can drop the sarcasm indicator and actually be correct. Every single state has price gouging laws already. However, I know Republicans will now act like it’s a terrible “communist” plan just to obstruct it.
Right? My favorite. It’s not really something that’s enforceable on that level though. It would be easier to bring prices down by breaking up these large companies. And if that fails, just start a government grocery store that opens up in food deserts first, then in high cost of living areas. See what happens to prices when they need to justify people going there instead of the government store.
Depending on how the recenr precedent curtailing the agency of government agencies holds up, teams of lawyers presenting teams of scientists to judges with political agendas may become the norm.
Legally, criminalizing systemic food waste would be a good step.
Is price gouging illegal?
Kamala is proposing making it illegal at the federal level.
Sounds like a realistic plan from a trustable person. \s

only for the poors
It’s supposed to be, but laws generally only kick in if there’s an emergency like an earthquake or hurricane.
Covid was a global emergency at one point.
Yup and the argument over if it qualifies or if they were doing it at the time is for the lawyers.
Oh good. Lawyers.
