“large companies can’t exploit consumers to increase profits”

Did she run this by the shareholders and the stock traders on Wall St?
Seems that “profits” are why people buy stock and increasing profits makes people buy more stock which in turn can be plowed back into the useable capital of the “large company”.
If profits don’t increase, everything goes to service the company debt and the stock value suffers.
And on the home front, hamburger becomes more important than the stock market.

She knows that the majority of her supporters are not very bright and economically illiterate so when she bashes corporations and wants to impose price controls, they will lap it up like cream.

The fact that price controls always, always yield bad results is immaterial.

and according to “future legends of the left” she’ll be hailed as the first American president to take the concept of weight loss for the masses seriously.

OK. The first thing I checked was to see if this was The Babylon Bee.

The problem with her preventing *corporate price gouging* is defining the phrase.

And the democrats will define it however it suits them best.

The negative effects of price controls are many. By creating shortages, they often cause people to wait in line, they often cause the quality of products whose prices are controlled to fall, and they can lead to favoritism by suppliers.

And guess who is the biggest contributor to creating shortages?

Yup, the government creates the problem, then comes along to *fix* it by regulating it.

I know there’s only so much one can do in prepping.

The idea isn’t always to become a live off the grid survivalist but to have enough to weather a fairly long term disruption.

Cargill will just keep collecting their subsidies and shipping US grain to feed the world.
Right?

Well, that works. If there’s no food to buy, you don’t have to spend the money on it.
