President Biden held a meeting with White House officials Monday to discuss the administration's plan for combating rising prices as inflation continues to surge throughout the U.S., reaching levels not seen in 40 years.

In remarks ahead of the meeting, the president touted an executive order he signed in July aimed at increasing competition by cracking down on larger firms in industries that the administration sees as too "consolidated," referring to the issue as a decades-old problem the federal government needs to address.

Let me guess wage and price controls??? As if that's ever worked in history.

This all seems kind of familiar. Off to listen to some Bee Gees and maybe some ABBA.

70s adult movie music for me. Think I’ll trick out a van with carpeting and an 8-track player.

1. Open up energy production of all types everywhere. 2. Stop requiring Jabs. 3. Stop paying people to stay home. I know this and I am not even President or President Puppeteer.

3. Stop paying people to stay home.

This is causing product shortages but not inflation.

Went over to Safeway today to buy some beef for beef stew.
$39 per pound on sale.

Unbelievable.

It’s YOUR SPENDING, you demented moron.

[griswold3]

But “fewer goods” are part of the inflation cycle.
Too many dollars chasing fewer goods…

[KarlInOhio]

Time to tap the strategic reserve of Whip Inflation Now buttons.

[KarlInOhio]

$39 per pound? Were you making Kobe beef stew?

[backwoods-engineer]

Wage and price controls are TYRANNY that should be resisted, just like Grandpa Sniff’s experimental COVID drug & mask mandates.

[50sDad]

Whip Inflation Now!

[Purpleperson]

Dusting off Carter era price controls.
They want to see lines at gas stations again so they can push green deal.

[ClearCase_guy]

The Kulaks and the Profiteers will be liquidated.

[Veto!]

Nothin fancy. Just pasture-raised beef.

Across the street from Safeway, a national chain, is local store that has grass-fed beef from Oregon ranchers. Hamburger was &7 per pound last week. Will go back tomorrow and ask for stew beef there.
