Biden wants regulatory agencies to impose price ceilings

[livingston]

The Biden administration complains that producers are taking advantage of product shortages and supply-chain constraints by jacking up their prices. He wants to penalize the meat packers for the high beef prices, the poultry industry for the rising expense of a chicken dinner, the drug companies for the high cost of pharmaceuticals and the oil and gas industry for recording record profits while gas prices soar.

He wants the Federal Trade Commission and other regulatory agencies to impose price ceilings to be monitored by an army of federal price-control police.

Just this week, Bernie Sanders called for a backdoor form of price controls with his proposal of a 95% windfall-profits tax on such firms as oil companies, pharmaceuticals and meat producers. No one told the senator that when you tax something, you get less of it. This will only make supply-chain problems worse and fuel even higher prices.

Another Dem mistake! Threatened price controls won’t curb Biden-flation

What Biden is best at when things go wrong is pointing his finger at someone else. He passes the buck.

History over the past century, hell over the past 4,000 years for that matter, proves that price controls do not work so it makes sense these evil assholes would put it in their playbook.

its time to start removing these fucking assholes, BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY, fuck the ballot box

That makes perfect sense. Meat packers bad, I understand now. What about the CWT of slaughtered steer? its gone from like 165 less than a year and half ago to 220. That has nothing to do with the people cutting them up.

So, propose something better, run for office, and save the world. Or shut up and take it because you have no ability to implement change. When one certain guy was in the White House all of his supporters whined about the other side of the aisle; when a different guy moved into the White House his supporters did the same thing. No one is ever happy, no matter who is “in charge.” Think about that for a minute, then log out of your QBookAGram account and keep thinking for yourselves. Stop with the “groupthink” and form your own opinions. If you must read the news, find opposing views and read them. Suss the truth out of it, if there’s any there to begin with. But, for God’s sake, stop bickering and bellyaching and act like adults. This country has turned into one giant third grade class. The internet has ruined civilization. Certainly made it less civil.

Beer for breakfast makes for a silly brain.

Free Market and Freedom of speech are tightly interwoven.
Dems are going Chavista / Venezuelan all the way.

See now that's why fuel prices are so high. Biden is using it all to put out our flaming economy.

He is grasping for straws. His only concern is the midterm election.

Which won't be allowed. Long time from now. The wreckage will create some unability to have elections. And the new elected people don't take the helm until further on down the road. They know they are toast. They are going all in destruction from within.
