You perfectly summed this up. This is the bad kind of retarded. Absolutely. Some people are just retarded, but innocuous. This kind of retarded should not enter the public discourse.
I don't necessarily think his answer is the best one, but if the free market was actually working, this wouldn't be a problem that anyone would bring up. Unfortunately we're seeing the opposite of that. Price gouging, corporate capture, etc. Realistically, I guess, at least he's trying something to break up the problem. Everyone other candidate seems to be ok with the status quo.
The gov of El Salvador is rolling out public produce markets where prices are very cheap for produce compared to the grocery stores. Apparently the grocery store magnate was running for president at the same time as the current president so they aren't friends. If I understand correctly, there isn't a welfare system in the country. so the idea seems to be to subsidize produce. It only runs certain times/days until supplies run out so it's not convenient.
I did some back of the napkin math. Kroger makes about 2.5 billion fiatBucks a year. The New York city budget is 112 billion. The city of New York is 44x more profitable than Kroger. Why are people so in love with greedy governments so against the greedy grocery stores?
I'm not saying they do. I'm saying there's a problem, he identified it, he's trying a solution. You're acting like there's no problem, which is really the dumbest take
What government overreach is causing corporate grocery price gouging?
You should do more research instead of calling people dumb because you're making yourself look like a fool.
Makes sense. I would be tempted to make public transportation free and subsidize basic produce. But I'm sure those aren't good ideas. However there are so many subsidies for 1. People with cars 2. People with money. Because services are catered to them. The highway was built for them, etc. I might just be a communist In some aspects. Because what we have by default is a communism of the road/land-use space already that is enforced by outdated land -use manuals that are only good for propagating Vegas style strip malls across the country.
If this clown believed half the πŸ’© coming out of his mouth he’d sell his crappy rings and misfit suit and help out these β€œpoor” gouged customers.
