Kroger grocery stores run on a 2% margin

Can you give me the quote from anything in her speech that said she blamed grocery stores for gouging?

 

The Democrat nominee said: “Believe me, as president, I will go after the bad actors and I will work to pass the first-ever federal ban on price gouging on food.

 

Grocery stores are in the food business

 

Or how she planned to crack down on their profits

 

harris never provides details but one can assume she will hire more federal bureaucrats to tell companies how to manage their business.

 

 

Here's what the crazy NY Times said about Kamala on grocery gouging.  Never trust a Lyin Liberal.  Often they get confused when lies work best.

I see now.    You conflated the term "Bad actors" with "grocery stores"...and more specifically "Kroger".   

 

The biggest lyin libs on this board are Tom and Boilerman.  That was already a known quantity but this thread is just another in a long list of examples.

 

I at least give Tom credit for providing his quote which doesnt make the point he wishes it to.   Thats better than Boilerman who just made an accusation and then hid under a rock when asked to back it up.  He did the same thing on his union-hall crowd size thread.

PJ is now using the what is the "is is" argument.  Stop it.  You heard and saw the speech.  


Damn straight I did.   The best part was it was in English so it didnt need to be translated or have false words put in her mouth like you did.

 

The Biden/Harris administration also went after "bad actors" in the pharma world who were making US taxpayers pay 10X as much for insulin as the rest of the free world.   To use Tom's logic -  Kroger is in the pharma industry  - which is to say they are the end retailer.  So thats who was targeted in the insulin crackdown, right?  

 

You know Republicans are in trouble when they have to fabricate problems to be upset about.   if there were real problems they could just point to those.

Boilerboob, your stupid tactic of putting words in other people's mouths and then arguing against those things they never said is extremely foolish. Only someone who knows his position is weak resorts to a straw man argument.

We all agree that sometimes businesses misbehave right? I mean, we can all name instances of criminality by Wall Street firms, banks, health organizations, charities, energy companies, and so on. But when someone suggests that we should prevent price gouging - during an emergency - you get: HOW COULD YOU IMAGINE MANUFACTURERS, WHOLESALERS, DISTRIBUTORS, AND MEATPACKERS EXPLOITING AN EMERGENCY??? THEY ARE TOO GOOD AND PURE TO DO SUCH A THING!!!

 

What a silly, silly argument.

Agreed.  But Kevin was oddly fine with big Pharma doing it with the Covid vaccines.

Yes. And I'm fine with all the purple giraffes on the moon, and Major League Baseball being run by a secret cabal of transgender dwarves.

 

I guess, according to your august judgment, that you believe that "Big Pharma" made too much profit on the vaccines. How much would have been too much? By what criteria? According to whom?:Do you even KNOW what their profits were in, say, 2021? If so, how do they compare with prior years?

 

If you can't answer all of the above questions, you're just blowing smoke out of your ass. Typical Trumper, to emulate your hero.

I posted a long article for you to read on this before with another topic.  Don't pretend now I didn't.
