“Bring in more traffic by losing money. Works every time.”
That’s what they teach at the “Joe Biden School of Economics.”
Free stuff is a misnomer. No one gets free stuff. The gubmint prints money and gives it to them so they can go and buy stuff because no one is actually given free stuff. We're capitalists. You have to buy stuff, at least after your $999 shoplifting limit runs out. It's the getting stuff without providing in kind contributions of labor in return that is the downfall of all communist societies starting with the first year of the Mayflower colony.
