I would throw throw them back to their country
government says no
So you're part of the problem.
I would throw throw them back to their country
government says no
Or you would willingly work on their computers for them
Alt ducks wanted to put landmines along the border and now admits he makes money off of the illegal migrants
You gladly took their money.
I do not steal like you
I work and get paid
I do not get handouts from government like you
He benefited from illegal immigrants but did not turn them away knowing they were here illegally
Why does alt ducks lie so much
Did you report all these illegals?
The easiest way to end price gouging is to introduce compe ion without price gouging. A state run general store with basic items with minimal markup, kinda like Mark Cuban's drug company, could work, but this market interventions are always tricky, because markets adapt, often times in unexpected ways, and intervention can quickly backfire.
You just said the illegals get government money.
Yes, liquor stores in several states are run/managed by the state (with minimal markup) and not private companies (which hate it), so that could work for some products.
The issue is that major companies are price gouging. Doing nothing is a bad solution.
The US poultry and meat industries are subsidized (e.g., U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural Development announced that USDA is making more funding available for meat and poultry processors to expand operations, transform the food supply chain and create new and better markets for producers).
I can see the US using availability of grants as a carrot/stick to encourage these industries behave. The carrot/stick approach has not been undertaken with the oil and gas industry - which receive big tax subsidies. U.S. oil and gas subsidies include provisions ranging from incentives for domestic production, write-offs and deductions tied to foreign production and income, and approved accounting methods that can reduce the stated taxable value of assets (estimated saving of $10B to $50B per year)
Can these industries game the system? Sure so it will be in bent on regulators to find the small number of cheats and deal with them individually or pull all the subsidies if they all cheat.
Again, I do not claim to have the answers but things will not change as corporations are in it for the money.
I believe that Mark Cuban also characterized an rust enforcement as being good.
we won't see any Nixon-style price controls
Amazon screws buyers and sellers at the same time, fortunately it owns the Washington Post media megaphone to blast any attempt to rein in its monopolistic ery

power of the FTC is key here

Hardcore conservatives don't change. That's their MO. No change, everything's fine and if we go back 50 years, we'll be even better off. No matter that that generation solved its own problems, let's recreate them, solve them again then some more about how things were better before the solutions were implemented.
Are you just bored being this way now?

drug discounts were negotiated, not mandated or capped
posters like the OP would rather get mad about something they made up in their head than pay attention to what's been reported.
But if you're Donald Trump asked how you will improve the cost of groceries, you just say "drill, baby, drill" and everybody nods and moves on.
Amazing lower cost to move goods helps lower prices
Energy prices have a lot to do with it !
that's great, how will deporting 10-15 million people cut prices at the grocery store?
People need to stop overreacting about Kamala’s plan to reduce food inflation, as if it would lead to communism, mass starvation, and the end of America.
I worked in M&A in the food industry. Here’s a step-by-step summary of what would actually happen:
1. The government announces that grocery retailers aren’t allowed to raise prices.
2. Grocery stores, which operate on 1-2% net margins, can’t survive if their suppliers raise prices. So the government announces that food producers (Kraft Heinz, ConAgra, Tyson, Hormel, et. al.) also aren’t allowed to raise prices.
3. Not all grocery stores are created equal. Stores in lower-income areas make less money than those in higher-income areas, as the former disproportionately sell lower-margin prepackaged foods (“center of the store”) instead of higher-margin fresh products like meat (“perimeter of the store”). Because stores in lower-income areas aren’t able to cover overhead (remember, even if their wholesale costs are fixed, their labor, utilities, insurance, and other operating expenses aren’t fixed… yet), grocery chains start to shut them down. Food deserts in rural areas and in low-income urban areas alike become worse.
4. Meanwhile, margins for food producers are also quickly eroding. Their primary costs (ingredients, energy, and labor) aren’t fixed, and their shrinking gross profits leave less cash flow available to cover overhead, maintain facilities, and reinvest in additional production capacity.
5. Grocery chains, which have finite shelf space, start to repurpose their stores (those they didn’t have to shut down, I should say) to sell more non-price-controlled items—everything from nutrition supplements to kitchenware to apparel—and less price-controlled food products. Your local Kroger or Safeway starts to look and feel more like a Walmart.
6. Food producers stop making products with lower margins. Grocery chain start competing with each other to secure inventory. Since they can’t compete by offering stronger prices (remember, producers aren’t allowed to raise prices here, and, even if they could, grocery chains no longer have the gross profit to bear price increases), they compete on things like payment terms.
7. Small grocery chains start to shut down entirely, or get sold to larger chains like Kroger. In addition to not being able to cover fixed costs, a major reason for this is because they can no longer reliably secure delivery of products, due to producers prioritizing sales to larger customers, which are able to leverage their stronger balance sheets to offer superior payment terms.
8. Smaller food producers—which typically sell via distributors, rather than directly to grocery chains—start to go out of business. Because these producers have an additional step their value chains, and because they have lower volumes over which to spread their fixed costs, their cost structure is inherently disadvantaged compared to major food producers. When grocery stores aren’t able to raise prices, cutting product costs becomes all the more important, and deprioritizing purchases from smaller producers is an easy way to do so.
9. As supply chains break down, lines start to form outside grocery stores every morning. Cities assign police officers to patrol store parking lots, and food producers draft contingency plans to assign armed escorts to delivery trucks.
10. The federal government announces a program to issue block grants for states to purchase and operate shuttered grocery stores. The USDA also seizes closed-down production facilities.
11. The government announces that prices for all key food costs—corn, wheat, cattle, energy, etc.—are also now fixed, to stop “profiteers” from gouging the now-government-operated food industry.
12. Shockingly, the government struggles to operate one of the most complex industries on the planet. The entire food supply chain starts imploding.
13. Communism, mass starvation, and the end of America quickly ensue.
Govenent will stop giving illegals tax payers money less debt
Gov overspending causes inflation
Both parties do it
Illegals have no rights for USA tax papers dollars !
Choosing Trump is no longer a
Political choice. It is the only choice to save
America.
