Recently the Democratic nominee and VP of the US accused grocery stores of price gouging their shoppers
In trying to sound like she’s concerned and trying to deflect the effect of her personally endorsed Bidenomics, she’s telling another one of her socialist whoppers
Since the price of groceries affect everyone the grocery stores were easy prey for the bobblehead democrat bottom feeders
And by stating she’ll institute price controls where she feels necessary she flashed her socialist credentials just like other failed leaders
There are many products and services that could be rightfully accused of price gouging but groceries ain’t one of them
Starting with a simple product with a couple more to follow, these are products she might try to condemn
Greeting cards used to be a mainstay of the daily mail. A simple note of warm wishes and all was well
Now for a picture of a cute kitty and a happy birthday message, to forward that sentiment $5.99 is what you’ll shell
Mobile phones used to have roaming charges. A very limited area in which calls were included in your plan and outside that (usually the end of your driveway) the price of any call would jump
Now all the plans have their own ways of extracting your hard-earned dough from your wallet as it all comes out of the hidden charges in a monthly lump
The healthcare industry has gotten away with highway robbery for years
Now because the insurance companies are calling the shots, for any kind of malaise you’ll need to see multiple doctors for colds, cuts, and pap smears
The docs all need their piece of the pie since insurance companies are making money from them and the insured hand over fist
The doctors have had to put their patients on a medical merry-go-round just to remove a cyst
TV used to be simple. A person could erect an antennae and get three network stations and if near a city maybe on a clear night get a UHF station
Now with cable and streaming services for only $99.99 one can get the same stations, some completely unwatchable programs, and stations that only appeal 1% of the population
There are many industries that have made their billions by price gouging the consumer year in and year out
But don’t pick on the grocers like some ranting ignorant lout
Because people know when they’re cash strapped due to your inflation, and they’re trying to get their family something to eat
You’ll find them at the discount food warehouses looking for dented cans of 59 cent black eyes and “use by tomorrow” gray meat
