Kamala Harris has finally come up with a policy of her own and it's ... bad.
Really bad.
Let's just say Lenin would be proud.
Philip Melanchthon Wegmann (@PhilipWegmann) ~ News: Harris to propose “federal ban on corporate price-gouging” on groceries and “impose stiff penalties in the food industry,” campaign announces.
Price controls.
On food.
So, you know - Communism.
Philip Melanchthon Wegmann (@PhilipWegmann) ~ Harris will propose, what her campaign bills as “the first-ever federal ban on price gouging on food and groceries — setting clear rules of the road to make clear that big corporations can’t unfairly exploit consumers to run up excessive corporate profits on food and groceries.”
Grocery stores are very low-margin operations. Ah, so Kamala-ala-Bimbo wants to turn our grocery stores into those behind the Iron Curtain from the Soviet-era ...
This sounds a lot like what Biden has been doing - blaming "big evil corporations" for the gross amount of inflation his administration caused. And sorry, Kamala, it's still Communism.
The Dank Knight (@capeandcowell) ~ She finally comes up with a policy on her own and it’s Communism. Hilarious.
Matt Whitlock (@mattdizwhitlock) ~ This is definitely the economics wizard you want telling grocery stores and food processing companies what prices they should be setting for every item.

Let's just call it what it is - Kamala is a retard.
Oh, the spin the Left is trying to put on this is impressively bad, even for them.
Yamiche Alcindor (@Yamiche) ~ The Harris campaign says the plan is one of several new policies Harris plans to unveil Friday and that in her first 100 days as president, she would also grant authority for the FTC and state attorneys general to investigate and impose harsh penalties on big corporations that choose to break these rules to make a quick buck at Americans’ expense.
Tell us you don't know anything about inflation and the economy without telling us you don't know anything about inflation and the economy, Kamala.
Holy Hell.
Caesar (@caesar_pounce) ~ Suing the people selling our food will in fact not reduce the costs of food. Democrats make up random shit to trick people into voting for them.
The only people who will believe this helps are already voting blue no matter who anyway.
JWF (@JammieWF) ~ Communism doesn't work.
