 When discussing her plans to implement idiotic socialist price controls (that literally always fail), Kamala calls it “price GAUGING” instead of “gouging.”

Anyway, study Austrian Economics. https://v.nostr.build/jLWScSxWDoiHyS1w.mp4  nostr:note1ut82zr48776ht2ka9v8pc0yrhptwunyl6d6f88xakjuaz2wsawfq7p3nse 
 Might want to get a freezer full of steak now just in case this catches on. 
 I don’t usually comment on a person’s lack of intelligence, but imo she’s fair game. 
 We should revolt against these communist democrats who passed these price gouging laws and forced these states to have mass shortages and bread lines:

Arkansas Deceptive Trade Practices Act: § 4-88-301
Alabama Unconscionable Pricing Act: § 8-31-1
South Carolina Unfair Trade Practice Act: § 39-5-145
Tennessee Price-Gouging Act § 47-18-5101
Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Consumer Protection Act: § 17.4627
 
 There are two types of economists, Austrian economists and those that should read a few books  
 I figured you would also enjoy that in trumps latest "economics" speech, he talked about being in default and being delinquent. He clearly had zero idea what those terms meant given how incorrectly he used them. Which is of course extra hilarious because he is a "genius real estate investor" 
 Price controls impact economic calculations in a negative way, but I’m sure those politicians don’t care about those implications 
 Look at the synonyms of gouging…

Personally I feel fucking gouged by the government more than by anyone else! https://image.nostr.build/e2b95bdb59582f1d0a1e0cdef6fcbcfcc47c40f6893d9e1181de8c459314af92.jpg  
 Price control is a shitty socialist strategy that never works. It destroys the product they want to control. This video is a short explanation by Milton Friedman.

 Freudian slip? She's gauging if the position will get her votes. 
 Why is the audience not filled in?   It's almost like they're not really there 
 People always say price control never worked. But let’s face it: they actually DO work, notably for the politicians who are pointing fingers at innocent actors. The companies and shops make for excellent scape goats and help the corrupt and unconscionable politician to become more popular. 
 Everyone behind her is retarded 
 Price controls actually work very well for the hypocrites who will be elected based on the false promise of bringing prices down. It’s important to understand that economic laws of physics can be repressed, albeit for limited time. This limited time is however enough for Kamala to come into power. 
 She is so clueless she said price "gaging" instead of price "gouging"... Can't even pronounce the propaganda correctly
