I cannot believe I just read this after my earlier post! This is scary. I don't want to toot my own horn, but talk about timing: #450956

These two quotes speak volumes:
consumers are not yet feeling the impact of cooling inflation rates and a strong economy
unlawful business practices...are inflating costs for Americans
Um which is it, CNBC? Inflation is falling in one sentence and rising in the next
Apparently we are expected to believe that the economy is simultaneously great thanks to Biden and awful thanks to corporations

Anytime I read or hear the word "unfair" my mind translates that to "something they don't like". Fair cannot be quantified. It is subjective. This is why manipulating scumbags like to use it all the time to gain power.

On a serious note, this is just the beginning of the US's decline isn't it? I'm not sure how much of this I can stand to watch.

It's starting to look that way, right?

I know better, but I was hoping we wouldn't make it worse than it'll otherwise be. Price inquisition will probably do much of the harm price controls would. Best case these are empty threats and he's just posturing for the election.

To me it doesn't matter. In 1987 I was all spun up over nonsense then I decided to read more about spiritual matters and develop a practice.
In different points since then I would get spun up and then have to let go.
Look at the earth in thousands of years. Get a greater perspective. Learn about various civilizations. Learn about the origins of mathematics, astronomy, agriculture, grammar, etymology and history. Also learn about the occult. The people who are in control are very well read and you don't know their names by the M5M.

I agree in many ways. I guess I mean the beginning of the accelerating end.

When I read "task force" my brain translate that as bull shit. As in this is a show for elections. To demonstrate "I'm fighting for consumers!".
I just think of stuff like this.

When has a task force actually done anything?

I wonder if this will have any effect on things like obviously abusive pricing on some medicines

Of course not! That's part of the plan. The chemical, I mean pharmaceutical industry owns DC, the Media, and a large number of "independent influencers"

It looks like they're just going to threaten price controls so companies think twice before increasing prices.
