You know how you end up with communism? You make it so nobody can afford their fucking groceries.
Anyone that listens to him is a fucking moron.
Surely linking affordable groceries to communism will make affordable groceries less popular rather than communism more popular.
Yes, if cheaper groceries are communist, then I’m ready for my hammer and sickle.
I genuinely wish we lived in the world they fear so much
I mean… Price control is kinda anti-capitalist, he’s not wrong.
And no I will not vote for Donald Trump.
IDGAF what they call it. Lower the damn prices! Sacrifice a billionaire to the capitalist god or something.
You have to keep sacrificing the billionaires to the Invisible Hand until market equilibrium is restored.
The reason publicly traded companies continually raise prices is the pressure from Wall Street to continually make more money than you did last month, last quarter, last year.
Say you sell 1,000,000 hamburgers and make a 20% profit on it.
Unless you make more money next year, selling that same 1,000,000 hamburgers, Wall Street is going to punish you. They don’t care that you’re profitable.
You either sell more burgers or raise prices.
Thank Jack Welch and Milton Friedman
