Harris to propose federal ban on 'corporate price-gouging' in food and groceries
Vice President Kamala Harris would expand FTC authority to help enforce a proposed federal ban on excessive prices in the food industry.
You're viewing a single thread.
We already have laws on the books for this but feds and state AGs refuse to enforce them.
Harris must know this... The only people who don't is the target audience. It appears
If we have a law and we're not enforcing it... isn't it precisely the role of the executive branch to start enforcing it harder?
You'd like to think so. But we've got ample evidence to suggest the role of the executive branch is to subsidize business regulation of itself.
and they precisely won't do it lol
regime whores are not here to help wage slaves jfc
Is it possible she could out stronger laws in the books? Sincerely asking.
We don't a legal issue, we have a political will issue.
What's the point of stronger laws if the existing ones aren't enforced? The stronger ones wouldn't be enforced either.
If she is a president, she can try to push for it sure...
But my point is that if laws are not enforced as is, what would the benefit be anyway?
We have rules against monopolies, we have rules against price gouging, we have some basic employment laws.... Feds nor states will enforce them for benefit of the public.
I think as president it would be way easier to step up enforcement but no president is willing tot use their political power to piss off our dear owners.
