What a regressive way of looking at the world.

Why does it have to have been proven to work better in order to try it? What a regressive way of looking at the world.

Yes, again, your pro-capitalist views are noted. And they explain a lot.

Your idea to use capitalism to fight capitalism is noted.

Something tells me it’s already been tried. Over and over. For around three centuries.

You know how people can not say things but those things are still true?

Price gouging is similar to profiteering but can be distinguished by being short-term and localized and by being restricted to essentials such as food, clothing, shelter, medicine, and equipment needed to preserve life and property.

This was not localized or short-term.

But apparently you are very big on “hail corporate” capitalism, so I clearly will not be able to convince you that corporations may possibly not have your best interests in mind.

The guy admitted to price fixing and you’re just pretending he didn’t. Baffling.

This literally already happened. And under Biden.

But sure, it can’t possibly happen again under Trump.

At least those are even numbers. 15 doesn’t even make sense to me from a packaging perspective. I would think a square 4x4 carton of 16 would be more efficient to pack in a truck than a 3x5 carton of 15.

Republicans controlling all three branches of government and looking the other way while businesses charge whatever the hell they feel like charging and collude to keep the prices artificially high.

Doesn’t mean it will come back cheaper though. Who’s going to punish companies for price gouging now?

I don’t know. Maybe they’re right. Maybe I should only joke about things in a serious way.

What political ideology is driving me to post nonsense in c/funny…

You know, I’ll have to ponder that one.

Sorry, I am not a “lib” and you wanted to know what they thought. I cannot help you there.

And if you don’t want to be laughed at for not being able to keep your stupid pledges, don’t make stupid pledges.

What “side” am I on anyway? You seem to know a lot about me, so please inform me.

You’d have to ask them. I really believe Trump said he was going to lower the price of eggs. How’s that working out?

Ah, in that case all he had to do was devalue women. Mission accomplished!

Dominion is a 2018 Australian documentary film filmed primarily with drones and hidden cameras inside Australian slaughterhouses and macro-farms with the aim to expose an opaque and inhumane system, according to the film’s writer, director, and producer, Chris Delforce, an animal rights activist.[1] The film documents multiple animal abuse industries in Australia, especially agricultural livestock, while focusing its message on animal rights.[2][3][4] Dominion portrays the killing of animals through methods such as using carbon dioxide to gas pigs, maceration of chicks, and skinning foxes alive.[5][3][6]

This may come as a shock to you, but Australia and Sweden are not only not the same place, they’re also on opposite sides of the planet.

They sell eggs in packages of 6, 10, 12 and 15 in Tesco here in the UK.

Only 15 confuses me. Why not make it an even number every time?

Excuse me, but Donald Trump never promised to make äggs cheaper for Americans.

Just eggs.

How is that going anyway?

Probably so. It’s always going to be an arms race, just like with malware.

You are right. Asking the person who says that they are not suggesting people give up what they should do instead of giving up is what I feel is the correct method.

But feel free at any time to say what people should do if not either give up or berate people on the internet.

I know you won’t because it’s clear you have no idea.
