Harris’ pandering to the far left with fixed prices is dumb AF. Maybe even more dumb than tariffs.

The craziest part is if they would have just introduced a wage theft and anti-price fixing law it would have been scarier to the businesses and been more effective.
The thing is, Grocery stores and many other companies with “big moats” including all the major integrated commodity companies, multinational food companies and grocery stores are regularly found to be engaging in price fixing and/or labor abuses.
For instance, Kroger recently had an ad for hiring grocery workers during a strike that said workers must be “willing to cross a picket line.” Pre-conditioning employment on not engaging in protected labor activity is a violation of the NLRA. The problem is the remedies and punishments the NLRB can give are mostly a joke and so companies just continue to do what they want to the detriment of workers.
So it was not only a bad policy, but an adjacent policy would’ve been more effective and much easier to message.
