Now that Kamala Harris is talking about food price controls, we should consider that Democrats are also talking about city—and state-run grocery stores. They are also regulating small farms out of existence, and Big Agriculture is taking over. Does it sound like the US government is trying to take over the food supply like all dictators do when they take over a country?
Karl Marx wanted collective ownership to supplant private ownership because he envisioned eliminating social classes and class struggle. His communism has never worked and any careful analysis of the theory shows it cannot work.
Chicago Sun-Times:
“Chicago could fill its “food desert” with a three-store network of city-owned grocery stores for an upfront cost of $26.7 million, a consultant has concluded.
The new 200-page report from HR&A concludes Mayor Brandon Johnson’s plan to open a city-owned grocery store is “necessary, feasible and implementable.”
Necessary because volatility in the grocery market has led to a wave of consolidations and store closings concentrated in South and West Side neighborhoods.
This is feasible because the city need not become a store operator but instead could act to limit the risk for a private operator.
Implementable because the city’s “significant land ownership, funding tools,” storage, and “community engagement capacity” make it “well-positioned” to provide “support and resources to an established operator.”
They are trying it out in Chicago for one, and predictably, it’s losing money. It’s a relic from the Soviet Union. What Chicago needs to do is go after the crime that forces the stores to close. It won’t be better if the government runs them.
Retailers lost $112 Billion to Theft in 2022. Rather than deal with theft and violence and hold criminals accountable, the Mayor of Chicago, Brandon Johnson decided to establish centrally-planned, Soviet-style, and city-owned groceries.
The Wall Street Journal dispatched a reporter to check out the municipal-owned grocery store in Erie, Kansas, which opened in 2021.
“Erie Market, which the city took to over in 2021, is losing money almost every month amid stiff competition from a Walmart 15 miles away and a Dollar General across the street,” reports the Journal‘s Joe Barrett. Erie Market posted just a single profitable month during 2022 and lost $132,000.
Communism can’t work.

People … Government already dictates every “weights and measure” ( Price of Gasoline). Healthcare: Regulations to the obscene! Government owns Your Corporate Healthcare. So, you idiots are getting SUCKER PUNCHED , TWICE! FDA “all food/drugs sold and its conditions are strictly controlled by government.”
Government tells you FOOLS how high your grass is allowed to Grow! I cannot go fishing “ON GODS GD EARTH” without paying for a US government fishing permit. So … I am FURIOUS with you, AMERICA. You
re a GD LIAR! WHERE IS THE GD FREEDOM?You paid 20 GD TRILLION ( in 2008) to corporate sodomites to sodomize you, America.
And, you Idiots fear price controls! I am putting every penny I have into the Monopoly Stock Market. Youre all Toast; however, I will not BURN with YOU America!Why do you have a Government?
Why?
So you can blow up GODS poor people all over the GD world and pay for it; while getting nothing in return? Some sort of demonic self-mutilation blood ritual, America? This makes you 100-percent responsible, America. However, none of you have a snowballs chance in hell of understanding price controls. No Price Controls = Corporate GREED REIGNS SUPREME!
YOU DO NOT HAVE SMALL FARMS ANYMORE, BIRDBRAINS! They
re all BIG Corporate Monopolies! THEY DICTATE PRICES! THERE is no Competition! Did you Cry: Commie, when Government Gave 20-Trillion to Wall Street? Are you all Prostitutes to Wall Street or Something, America? Serious Question?You all have this childish mind that has been programmed by corporate lobby Propaganda. GOD could not help you; because youre all so lost that you cannot even comprehend basic math or disciplinary functions. You sold your souls to the Propaganda! You see Commies Everywhere! This is Classic Demonic Possession/Schizophrenia! Now, You will have Violence, Wars, Plagues, Famines and Death; because you are all too stupid to Understand PRICE CONTROLS!Do nothing and Prices will Skyrocket! Look at your Housing Markets, Birdbrains, Do you think all those MC WORKERS/ILLEGALS ran it up on Dreams? HEDGE FUNDS! Look at the Price of a Used Car … Note, the “WE BUY ANY CAR ABOMINATION!” Now, what kind of Idiot has that kind of money? BIG CORPORATE HEDGE FUND MONOPOLIES! Government will pay them for all the cooked Transmissions too! And, you get stuck with a $15,000 used car with 150,000. miles on it. Good Luck getting to your MC JOB!
Why is it impossible for you, America, to comprehend corporate monopolies? Satan Got your Brain?
You
re all being Slaved to Corporations. You do not have a Free Market ( IT WAS A LIE) and you never did, Fools! Go try and start a business, in America, and see how GOVERNMENT RULES YOU and Everything around YOU. You cannot even have a kids lemonade stand without getting cited by local government! YOUR FREEDOM was a LIE. YOUR DREAMS WERE LIES. WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE, AMERICA! Your government has swallowed all of you WHOLE and youre in the Belly of the Beast! However, youre all too stupid and Cursed of GOD to know or do anything about it.And, since I see how Stupid you are, America, ( IT IS A TRUTHFUL/ HONEST OBSERVATION) I am going to Buy a Couple Thousand Shares of Some Mega, Agro-Monopoly; because theyve been growing earnings 100-percent ( Your Inflation, Birdbrains) by doing “absolutely nothing” just raising prices on the stupid sheep that occupy this Stupid Land. This is why your Markets are Flying! Price Controls or Violent Revolution? Your Choice, Birdbrains!I know this scares the JESUS out of all of you; because you do not know Jesus. Jesus said to Feed the Poor, Not to Maximize Profits! Nevertheless, you, America, have a BIG, FAT, GREEDY “corporate monopoly monstrocity” out there in reality. The Beast is Hungry Too!
So, if you want to let “Satanic Corporations” set your food prices you will not be eating, America. Government does not want food rebellions; because they do not want to catch the bullets for such a disaster. They have a vested interest to make sure food is affordable and not used as a luxury by RICH, FAT ,GREEDY “SATANIC” Corpoations seeking to devour their own Mothers for the Sake of Profit! Now, I know you
ve all been programmed to fear "anything good" so think of it as "Price Discipline," not Price Control. No Discipline and not only will you be homeless , America, but most of you wont be able to afford basic food.And, Americans … I am very, very WISE, so do pay attention to the ENDLESS TRILLIONS of DOLLARS in CORPORATE WELFARE, GRANTS , SUBSIDIES and BAILOUTS Government ( YOU) give in continual rotation to Corporate America. Why they , in most cases, do not even pay Taxes! YOU … The Tax Slave; well , if you do not EAT you cannot WORK. SO … Better think Fast.
Oh, and BTW …
FDR used price controls during WW-2 and they worked, brilliantly. Nobody Complaned. Government audits fairly and will not hurt the corporations. However, they cannot allow corporate GREED to Start a Shooting Revolution in America, America! FOOD is not a Luxury for the RICH GD IT!
Why are the city stores losing money to a Walmart 15 miles away and dollar general across the street if they had the best prices and selection they would be kicking it
competition always brings best for the people
There is no competition. Most Grocers are Corporate Monopolies. You have all been living in a Dream World of Free Market Capitalism; while the Corporations Consolidated and Monopolized, Everything! There are 4 companies that own the entire EGG market: Recall the Problem with 7-dollar eggs? Those companies all posted 100-percent profit/earnings growth. So, the Inflation was all Corporate Monopolies Rasing Prices for Greed. Monopolies do not allow Competition only Government regulation can fix that Problem. Your Free Market Capitalism was DOA..
And, will you people stop with the stupid, childish downgrades! I can monetize those; because if I get that kind of attention “on this board,” then I am Infamy with Talent! If you do not like me, Ignore me! Stop Making me Famous, Pea-Brains! Obviously, none of you can challenge me?
And, I hate to bust your bubble; but walmart was largely monopolized and consolidated by, and for, Government. Walmart is not your local Family run Business! Google is the Same: BIG GOVERNMENT PRODUCT. They got all of your Info too! Sneaky Devils, Indeed. Government has been propiing up STOOGES like, ZUKERBURG, as some sort of free market “wet dream” when they were behind the curtain feeding them money and pulling the strings from the very beginning.
And, you know … STOP with this “stupid homeless persons market” in CA; because communism has nothing to do with this matter! FDR used price controls and all of America cheered Him! You will see Crime like you never imagined -or even dreamed in your worst nightmares- if you continue to allow Corporations to Price food , as luxury for the Rich and for Profit! And, for those of you who are market Illiterate, I will help: “Wall Street Earnings/Profits are at all time HIGHS.” This was the Cause of the Inflation!
Price Controls ( Price DIsciplines) are not communism! Price Discipline is Necessary or National Security! Violent Revolution Comes, Otherwise! However, what is a market monopolized by the RICH for the RICH? Satanism? Sould only the Rich Eat? Better figure this out; because if your leaders catch wind that you`re this stupid, America, they are going to BEAT YOU SILLY, AMERICA! Seriously.
“For years the French new there would be a revolution; but it didn’t begin till the French were starving!” Colonel Douglas Macgregor.
Yes, but nobody understands this and they will repeat History. The Violence is Already Starting. Just wait until the corporations “Juiced up by the Do nothing Attitude in America” Get Really Greedy!
Downgrades with no Content? Typical Idiots! All of you “combined and multiplied” could not debate me, so you pull this childish downgrade and run. Thanks For Playing , Suckers!
Keep Hitting it; because I am Winning!
