That's not how the economy works, Joe! Biden demands supermarkets cut soaring grocery prices that threaten his re-election - even though reasons for spikes are beyond stores' control

Joe Biden has suggested supermarkets should defy the laws of supply and demand to lower soaring prices that threaten his chances of re-election.

'There are still too many corporations in America ripping people off: price gouging, junk fees, greedflation, shrinkflation,' he said at a speech in South Carolina last week.

'Americans, we're tired of being played for suckers and that's why we're going to keep these guys - keep on them and get the prices down.'

January 2022. Illinois farmer with almost 2,000 acres, showed up and explained the cost of fertilizer produced from natural gas - he was set to pay 3 - 4 times what he paid in 2021.

Thanks to Joe Biden, and Democrats, and “expert” liberals, who do not consider how many processes and skills - planning stages - were upset, when Biden began his war against natural gas.

After many years, on the path to transition for coal-power to natural gas-power generation.

Biden’s career: After law school he got hired by a law firm, but failed to make partner after 3 years. Ran for and elected to city council at 28, one year later elected to the Senate at 29, youngest Senator in history. From there he failed his way to the presidency. Thanks to Barack Obama he got there.

The man has literally no experience in the real world.

Those vile farmers and supermarkets are the enemies of mankind. End them,
I tell ya! /s

Another day in the twisted mind of a Marxist.

Do folks understand that Marxist leaders of Russia and China killed off
in the neighborhood of 70 million of their citizens by micro-managing
their food supply?

Food for thought…
