Yikes....they arent even hiding it anymore.
There is no such thing as illegal pricing.

Inflation
Now
I wonder what is motivating Biden.
You hit the nail on the head...total government control...coming to your hometown soon.
If you are the villain who destroys the economy, then all you can do is point fingers and blame the economy.
I wonder if the press secretary is still bounding the word “Bidenomics” around these days?
Anti-dog-eat-dog Rule?
Just more tyrannical BS from the Marxist administration.
I am the solution to all of the problems (that I have purposely created)!
Lina Khan is a Luna Tick

“DOJ and FTC, along with other agencies on the Strike Force, will focus their collaborative efforts on key sectors where corporations may be violating the law and keeping prices high, including prescription drugs and health care, food and grocery, housing, financial services, and more.”
“The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) finalized a rule to slash credit card late fees from the current average of $32 down to $8, saving consumers $10 billion a year, or an average savings of $220 per year for the more than 45 million people who are charged these late fees annually.”
“Analysis of a number of major sectors across the economy show that consumers pay $90 billion in junk fees every year, including on live event tickets, internet and cable fees, apartment rentals, banking fees, auto dealer fees, and more. “
“Today, the Department of Agriculture (USDA) finalized a rule to protect the farmers and ranchers who produce meat and poultry by cracking down on processing companies’ deceptive contracts, banning retaliatory practices that prevent small producers from raising concerns or coming together in associations.”
“In addition, the FTC finalized a rule to ban auto dealers from using bait-and-switch tactics to deceive consumers and to stop auto dealers from charging hidden junk fees for services that provide no additional value.”
The complete and total destruction of United States.
communist attack on capitalism
im not surprised
Disgusting. These bureaucrats will start harassing companies and levying fines to take the attention off the basic problem of excessive.gov spending/insane fiscal policy.
Whip inflation now,
eat crow instead of cow.
What opportune timing... just when most polls show Biden behind Trump in various polls, including people younger than 30 years old.
We need price controls, comrades! And Trump and his supporters are threats to the motherland! Oh, and the bread rations will need to be reduced this month because we had record crop yields!
