So you think there’s a “fish cartel”, that fixes the price of fish, and then poor Biden gets blamed? LOL

Wouldn’t you feel more at home on Democratic Underground? It seems to me that your “business” may be selling the idea of government control of everything, to stop those imaginary price gougers.

8 months ago eggs were selling for $4 per dozen around me, and this week I bought a dozen eggs for 96 cents. The free market works superbly well, and I infer that there is no egg cartel.

Fish spoils easily, and it’s difficult to get it from the fisherman to market, so I can see why retail prices are much higher than wholesale. But you have inspired me to shop more for fresh fish, so thank you for that. I found a couple of new fish markets near me to check out.

No, the corporations fix prices and they use government to help them do it. There is runaway market manipulation right now. Covid was an opportunity the greedy just could not pass up to manipulate markets. And as they price gouge they have no problem at all if Biden gets ALL the blame.

I have been a conservative small businessman all my life. But apparently it looks like I am one of the few “honest and fair” businessmen left. The way to fix this greed is for the customers to wise up and stop falling for these price fixing and gouging deceptions. Stop blindly paying the gouging scam. Reduced “Demand” alone will reset the market and help repair the economy whether Biden likes it or not.
