Cost of living. The discussions happen, but it’s never centered around the legitimate things to help the issue. Instead of talking about points like price fixing, wage suppression, homelessness, public housing, etc we talk about inflation and creating more jobs.
I’ve seen quite a lot of talk about price gouging, stagnant wages, and homelessness. Not so much public housing, that’s true enough.
Harris specifically called for an anti-grocery-gouging law. Kinda strange really, since it’s already illegal in practically every state. But it’s talk anyway.
The price gouging discussions are only just happening because of how bad it’s been lately and it isn’t even getting fixed by legislation. Companies just realized they’re sales are way down because of how high prices are and are trying to fix things. Companies are facing no real repercussions for it and they could very well try it again in 2 years when everyone has forgot about it.
My comment was centered mainly around the fact that we’re not actually addressing the root cause of the issue, just the symptom and in some cases just hiding the symptoms.
