Any legislation to go with that or are you just asking nicely?
In presidential systems like the US has legislation originates from congress. The President only has veto power over legislation, and controls the enforcement of existing legislation. They can’t force congress to create new legislation, though of course they can propose legislation (anyone can do that). This is very different from parliamentary systems where the Prime Minister is the head of the majority party of the parliament, and can thus directly propose legislation and get their party to support it.
Dude, they are gouging because they want you gone so they can have more tax breaks. Fuck then over already.
Corporations: “or what?”
He’s gonna blast em, and they will officially be On Notice
Corporations: “Make us.”
Biden: “no”
Stop slapping and start jailing. No teeth will never stop this.
Corporations: lol no
He probably went to go buy his own ice cream for the first time in 3 years and said “holy shit.”
Bad corpos!
*slaps them on the wrist
Corpos = “Slap me harder Daddy Biden! Tell me that I am destroying the middle and the working class for pursuit of increaseing shareholder value and increased profits.”
Thanks Biden
Corporations after seeing how Black Friday netted over $9.8 billion: Uhhhh…no. According to these numbers, people LoVe the prices!
That’s almost 10 billion of sale prices though, for products they literally needed to offload.
And while a record amount, it was only 7.5% above normal, coming off all this Covid stuff it’s no wonder people are cutting loose and splurging a bit.
7.5% … Wasn’t that the rate of inflation recently as well? Not sure what it is at now, but we were getting up there. Higher prices wouldn’t necessarily mean a new record, I am guessing.
As far as I can tell it’s just people being “savvy” and waiting for the big sale day.
Black Friday e-commerce spending popped 7.5% from a year earlier, reaching a record $9.8 billion in the U.S., according to an Adobe Analytics report, a further indication that price-conscious consumers want to spend on the best deals and are hunting for those deals online.
Oh thank god, I was worried brows would continue to remain unfurrowed.
I haven’t found a comment talking about inflation
If the inflation is even close to the price hike on groceries, we are fucked.
They were probably all deleted.
Kinda late as always, but I guess better than never.
A year too late
You know what’s funny about these kinds of posts is the type of dude you’re replying to literally NEVER comes back to say “shit, my bad”.
Like, I don’t get it, someone corrects me anywhere and I’m like “thanks, bro, appreciate the correction”…but I’ve never seen these dudes do that.
Wonder why?
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.
I stopped spending on extra things too, and it’s really helped. I sold my house so I didn’t have to pay a mortgage and moved into my car which I never drive because buying gasoline will keep the price high. I also cancelled all of my streaming services, so I stare at the ceiling to entertain myself. I eat exclusively organic dirt that’s on sale because I stopped splurging on food. Why don’t people just spend less money?
‘Stop the money printing’: Biden hits Federal Reserve over excessive inflation… Is what it should say.
