Price controls —> shortages https://image.nostr.build/2b1449a3c012262e3639ab73935975e0b51b27a228e25fb614fd7cb0a442dc2a.jpg  
 It's a message saying "we won't cut any costs and we will print a lot, rising prices are " free market greed" fault 
 Shortages would be perfect because then they can centralize the control of resources to give everyone their “fair share”. Price controls are a perfect set up to communism 
 Precisely. 
 This would merely treat a false symptom. They know that the root issue isn't the grocerers charging more... 

They know that.... RIGHT?

Everything costs more. Not just food. 

They have to know that.... RIGHT!? 
 Artificially manipulating supply is also illegal, and those law should be enforced then they can go against price gouging. 
 Insanity 🥲 
 Is the US getting baiterd into an emergency? 
 Communism 
 Indeed. 
 Nothing bad has ever happened, ever. 
 Aww did you misread gouging and see price controls somewhere?  
 What did you think a “price gouging ban” entails? 
 It entails enforcing the current price gouging laws on the books. That's literally what she said. 

But your click bait version is more divisive and will get more clicks so hat tip to ya  
 Yes and,
Price ceiling = shortage
Price floor = surplus 
 Thank goodness no one will be able to gouge off the expensive price sticker and put their own lower price sticker on the box! 😉 
 she's a Jamaican-Punjabi whore who grew up in Canada...... what would she know? 
 Oh yeah!
Finally you Americans will experience what we had for my whole childhood - queuing for food!👍
I remember vividly how the messages like "they've got bananas" spread through city like steppe fire 👏👏👏
