I don't think a lot of American's really are going to make their choice in November based on this or any other outrage the right puts out. For me this November I am a single issue voter, and that issue is who I trust with the power of the presidency. Period.
I long for the days where political debates were about the policies and platforms. I long for the days where the VPs spelling of a vegetable was considered almost scandalous. I long for the days where any hint, or perceived hint, of unethical, immoral or criminal behavior was disqualifying in the eyes of the voters. I long for the days where even a white lie by elected officials was fact checked, and they were shamed for it. We are a long way from that today, and I want to get back to that and that. Harris has never threatened to abuse her power and Trump has taken advantage of it at every turn. So come November, its an easy choice on who I trust with power and dignity of the most powerful job in the world. Outside of that, headlines like the ones you post are just noise and aren't likely to change any minds.

What she is proposing is communism though. If she wasn't a communist she would be looking at the barriers to entry and easing those to create competition. Assuming of course that these price hikes are actually gouging. If they are competition would handle it much more effectively.I'd rather Kamala's team review the entire food chain and identify the worst offenders creating the excessive price hikes vs the easy "grocery store prices are high, ergo grocers are gouging". Thats too simplistic of a response and apparently, not accurate.
But trying to fight against unnecessary price hikes has nothing to do with communism. Regardless, its a fan favorite accusation.
Feel free to provide examples for your claim.Harris never abused her power? You might want to fact check that

By the way gross profit does not include all expenses. What was net profit?

She could also take on the monopoly of corporate farming enterprises that are coming to fruition.
Instead she is trying to price the market. Not a chance she can get that right even if her motives are pure. Which they are not
When you tell people you will pay off their student loans and stop grocery stores from price gouging, you can't be trusted with the nuclear button. When you leave billions of dollars worth of military equipment in the hands of Afghan terrorists, you are not qualified to be President. When you allow millions of unknown criminals, terrorists and human traffickers as well as enough fentanyl to kill all America, you are not qualified to be President. Trump didn't do anything like that.I don't think a lot of American's really are going to make their choice in November based on this or any other outrage the right puts out.

For communist, it’s called not for profit. Government controls everything.What is a fair profit margin in your mind?
You are full of shitYou are wrong again. Communism is defined as a political theory advocating class war and leading to a society in which all property is publicly owned and each person works and is paid according to their abilities and needs.
What she is suggesting is regulatory capitalism / price controls. This is where the govt steps in to help manage bad actors in the industry to protect consumers through multiple methods, and in this case overseeing where margins are inordinately high. This happens in the US in many ways.
She isn't saying set the price of Cheerios at $2.90, nor is she saying line up and we will give everyone a box of Cheerios. She is saying, someone (grocers), are marking up the prices too much which is what the Rs are currently complaining about. At least she is trying to do something rather than just crying in front of a table of dry goods.
Go back to my original post on where she should be reviewing the margins. Just because you don't understand what she is saying doesn't make it communism.
Dividends is paying their owners. The investors that own their stock. If you have a 401k it is likely you benefit from dividends. You should probably educate yourselfSo PepsiCo profit after paying CEO 33.91 million salary and 73% of net earnings in dividends?
T he e beef/pork farmer isn’t killing it at the meat counter, either. They scrape by in comparison to the pork/ beef producers. I understand there has to be profits made… it just seems now the profits don’t favor the farmer/producer or the retail customr.Always has been. I worked for Hy-Vee for years. Margins were always around one percent, some items had higher margins, some like bread and milk they would actually even take a loss on. That’s why you see them try to have these high dollar margin departments around the store. The brands and Food manufacturing companies are the one with the price gouging.
Kroger's gross profit margin over the past five years has shown some consistency, with slight fluctuations:PepsiCo gross profit for the twelve months ending June 30, 2024 was $50.115B, a 3.76% increase year-over-year.

^^^ DerpJust two people caused massive worldwide inflation? Pretty amazing.
There are things that Hyvee may lose money on (lost leaders) but they mark a majority of their stuff up 30%. Hyvee brand stuff is marked up more than that.Always has been. I worked for Hy-Vee for years. Margins were always around one percent, some items had higher margins, some like bread and milk they would actually even take a loss on. That’s why you see them try to have these high dollar margin departments around the store. The brands and Food manufacturing companies are the one with the price gouging.
Is it not headed that way?If inflation was under control why would Harris introduce a Soviet style price control system?
Wow another low IQ.There are things that Hyvee may lose money on (lost leaders) but they mark a majority of their stuff up 30%. Hyvee brand stuff is marked up more than that.
I get Hyvee makes up very title of the grocery chain profit margin in the country but I find that number hard to believe.
Did you not see the giant spike in 2020 when the price gouging was at its peak?

Are you seriously comparing Maduro to Harris? Give me a ****ing break. Are you really this ignorant?^^^ Derp
Supports this fully below is the reality that Peter Pan doesn’t live in.
Do better Comrades
Those profit margins are pretty amazing for a supermarket. I always thought they were normally around 2-3%.Kroger's gross profit margin over the past five years has shown some consistency, with slight fluctuations:
- 2023: 21.6%
- 2022: 21.7%
- 2021: 22.0%
- 2020: 22.3%
- 2019: 22.1%
