Price Controls

[Rasputin_Vol]

I've been hearing people talking about price controls coming over the last few weeks and I'm not so sure that may not be a possibility. With Biden on a losing streak right now and inflation galloping along, I can only imagine what kind of plans they may be cooking up to try to regain ground in the polls. If this happens, the "bare shelves" that we are seeing now will only get worse.

We've already seen that they are willing to disregard over 100+ years of medical science to fight COVID, so we can be certain they will ignore history when it comes to the devastating effects of price controls.

If history has taught us anything, it’s that getting peoples’ attention off a bad economy is going to war. Whether it’s the Ukraine deal or something in Iran (they are “worried” that Iran is going to assassinate Trump?) I would bet they go that route before price fixing. The price fixing would be straight up Marxist.

You think that would stop them?

Not at this point. I think the war stuff would be easier for them to pull off at this point. They’ve clearly been prepping the public for it with both the Dems and Republicans.
