16. Individual grocery store (chain) doing price-gouging

is its own issue now outside of other goods and services. It's something that VP Harris was supposed to address this week.

It's along the line now of how, during weather emergencies, gas stations used to price gouge on gasoline until the states started cracking down on it.

You see what finally happened to start "breaking" the fast food industry that saw people say "f-you, I'm not buying", and they finally stopped charging "$18" (one infamous report) for a Big Mac.

They are doing it because they can but that is a double-edged sword when people stop buying their over-priced stuff.

Greedflation.
