‘Stop the price-gouging’: Biden hits corporations over high consumer costs

Cool. So what’s he gonna do about it? Or was this it?

So the attorney general can open an investigation on this asshat profiteering off of hand sanitizer but when it comes to companies price gouging in the wake of the pandemic we get this limp dick response? Sure I'm glad he said something but we need more

Corporations: "Make us."

Biden: "no"

Corporations: "or what?"

Make them, under force of real economic consequences, or this is just begging.

Old man wags his finger.

Any legislation to go with that or are you just asking nicely?

Corporations: lol no

He added, “come on, man”

Actually do something about it you crypt keeper lookin ass fuck

Corporations after seeing how Black Friday netted over $9.8 billion: Uhhhh...no. According to these numbers, people LoVe the prices!

Windfall taxes

Dude, they are gouging because they want you gone so they can have more tax breaks. Fuck then over already.

Stop slapping and start jailing. No teeth will never stop this.

Bad corpos!

*slaps them on the wrist

"Stop the price-gouging...", the unspoken bit after is "... they're starting to catch on"

Capital is king, and Joe kneels at the throne at the end of the day.

Yeah! Say more words, Joe. That'll teach em.

A year too late

"If only my donors would pretty please stop that would be great. Consequences? We need to keep the elderly out of government, and ban lobbying. Until we do BOTH of those things, nothing will change and will only get worse. VOTE.

Oh thank god, I was worried brows would continue to remain unfurrowed.

MALARKEY DETECTED

Kinda late as always, but I guess better than never.

Thanks Biden

Well I am glad he finally said something but it's too little too late. How many more suicides were there this year in the US versus say, 2019? I'll bet those numbers have experienced inflation. All so Walmarts stock can go up by a dollar.

It's class warfare. The rich exploit the poor and middle class. We need comically large cigar tip cutters again.

What are YOU doing about it? Not Biden -- YOU: the person reading this comment.

I can tell you my overall cost of living since 2020 has plummeted, not because I haven't faced inflation like everyone else, but because I stopped spending on most extra things. For example: not eating out anymore, cancelled all streaming subscriptions, flexed what I eat based upon coupons and deals at the grocery store (still healthy), I drive much less, etc..

If you keep buying stuff when prices go up, this keeps demand high and, therefore, prices high.

Edit: So far people are saying they are doing nothing different... just continuing to blame corporations. It's both greedy corporations and people's fault. If the costs for basic goods and shelter go up, why wouldn't you adjust?

'Stop the money printing': Biden hits Federal Reserve over excessive inflation...

Is what it should say.

Reminds me of this classic: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DJ9K9kpgkzg

I was saying boourns.

Biden blames someone else for inflation under his administration. I fixed it.

I haven't found a comment talking about inflation
