nicknaseef17 on August 15, 2024 3:07 pm Good politics – bad policy. It is what it is. There’s no way to implement something like this so if it makes lower information voters happy then it’s worth the empty rhetoric.

yellownumbersix on August 15, 2024 3:14 pm Americans when price of eggs goes up due to low supply caused by bird flu and supply chain issues related to Covid: 😡 Americans when the government fixes the price of eggs and instead of expensive eggs there are now no eggs at all in the grocery store: 😡😡
Dry_Wolverine7411 on August 15, 2024 3:22 pm Why are people talking smack about this? 🤔 Price controls have a great history of taming inflation and they also make corporations less corporation-y. Two birds one stone, people ✊🏽
DumbOrMaybeJustHappy on August 15, 2024 3:27 pm Is this even good politics? Or do most voters see it as a declaration that she doesn’t understand basic economics?
