Also these smaller chains are doing everything they can to remove that modifier of "it's ok to steal from corporations" by doing the exact same price gouging as the big guys.

Literally for decades small business have been complaining they can't compete with the prices of the big corporations because of economy of scale.

But then the corporations all doubled their prices from sheer greed, giving the small stores a chance to undercut them with fair prices and reclaim that market share while also benefitting the whole community and not effe tovely holding their food ransom.

Or they could also double all their prices and attempt to do the exact same thing as Walmart because it seems like they can get away with it.

All these catchy new names to replace just saying "capitalism" are really carrying a lot of water to make this seem like some unintended fluke and not just the literal cornerstones of capitalism.

The people who own the means of production are charging the maximum amount they can get away with for the things they produce.

And they're using the inelastic aspect of the fact people need things like "food" and "shelter" to charge more for things that people would die without.

Buy no it's a completely new phenomenonwell have to spend a long time coming up with a solution for, deffinitly isn't centuries of books written on exactly why this happens and what would stop it.

This seems like a leftist shitpost come to life to prove how fucking stupid white racists are.

They're literally getting chyds to pay more money for a condiment scientifically engineered to protect them from anything spicier than mayo.

While looking like that. It seems pretty on the nose.

It's literally just reflexive.

Chuds say Biden supports open borders and they can't help themselves but go "actually he's doing way more at the border than Trump did..... why are people who didn't like trumps border policies mad at me?"

Always funny when theybtry to make this argument then run out of examples after three things that are 80% bullshit so they have to start listing things they think republicans would approve of.

Here I'll justify it.

I won't vote for anybody actively and enthusiastically enabling a genocide.

If that is too high a bar for dems to clear, that's dems problem not mine.

Now let's flip it.

I wondered how you justified supporting a genocide. It appears that's not just a side effect but really the goal.

Yea in the same way between being shot in the head and the stomach getting shot in the head is the better option.

If trump were president we'd be doing the exact same thing as far as supporting Isreal but every single lib would have the Palestinian flag in their profile as a reflexive action instead of lecturing people about how what Isreal is doing isn't technically a genocide because they're accidently killing 80% civilians.

Yup my baseline for voting for somebody is "won't continue to do a genocide"

If that is an unreasonable expectation that's the dems problem not mine.

asked real estate agents about how they sell coastal properties that perhaps won't be inhabitable 50 years from now.

Tell them they're owning the libs by showing they dont believe in climate change

States should be buying up coastal properties and turning them into public beaches.

Makes it so not just the super rich can afford to have access to the beaches and also means the government doesn't have to bail these people out when their house gets washed away every 5 years because they rebuilt their house on the same spot it got washed away 5 years ago.
