      I would say that companies artificially raising prices because their competitors are doing it too is actually a big problem which accounts for a ton of needless economic hardship.

      Presidents have previously implemented anti trust policies; it’s not like this is anything new.

      And goddamn it my oreo had regular sized cookies with a tiny little nickle sized speck of filling in the middle. It looked ridiculous.

        Nixon froze prices or something. As far as repubs go, he was the most reasonable that I’ve heard about (also stuff about the environment or national parks? I’m not an expert). And he was a monster, so think about what that means about everyone that followed him.

          Every president since and including Nixon has been a fucking war criminal. And the Hague can’t do shit, because if they tried we can attack them! I was surprised when I found out.

      Rising food cost is absolutely real issue I don’t know why you even pretend otherwise.
