FOOD FOR THOUGHT: Grocery chain CEO raises concerns with Harris’ price-fixing plan 

Yes it has they work the hardest all day from the time they get up till night time.

Much of our wheat and fertilizer came from Ukraine

No joke. Biden-Harris can't understand that lots of things are made from petroleum. Like fertilizer, plastics, chemicals and building supplies. Not to mention that all foods are carried to market using diesel, by truck or train. I think a lot of pesticides are petroleum based, aren't they? They've probably gone up in price too?

Fertilizer through the roof. Biden withdrew from 5 trails the first week in office with other countries that drove up fertilizer

Fuel prices affect farmers, ranchers, transportation companies and they ALL pass those expenses to us the consumers! Bidenomics hard at work!!

That means not playing taxes 🤣

paying

Amen!

Just the democrats for now! When Republicans run things, it'll be their turn to be judged...

I​@@vdc6925if we go in to depression nobody will be paying taxes,even though they decided we ARE NOT 🚫 in a recession 😅 I personally am in a recession..

She is just pandering for votes. Harris is clueless and would make a horrible leader.

Harris 🟰 The Problem

She's a career politician and this that government should handle everything and knows absolutely nothing about the private sector😂

she just doesn't have a clue period

Let’s be honest, there are traitors on both sides.

Name a Republican that committed treason, like funding terrorism in Iran releasing 6 Billion in funds froze by Trump. Biden did that a month later we have war in the middle east. Open border allowing a invasion, funded the Taliban too.

Biden is the biggest liar on the planet. Cannibals ate uncle Bosie.

@@elijahmyers5069 Joe and now Kamila are the biggest of my lifetime. Kamila's vice stood and lied about 99% last night. And she has no policies or interviews yet. That should be interesting.

​@@JeanetteFaithyour cult master is the biggest liar in political history and project 2025, is nothing to be proud of.

Yeah 4 years with a Republican house

​@@spicyboys1999 1 day old accounts get no respect and have zero credibility.

Talking sensibly to a Liberal/Socialist is like...well, like nothing I've ever experienced before. Useless and a waste of time. They've slipped over the edge.​@@PowerstrokeSynd

That's not true at all she helped pass the inflation reduction act at a cost of over $800,000,000,000 worth of Federal spending (all Republicans voted against it) and she was put in charge of the border where she helped hundreds of thousands if not millions of people pour in from South America, many of which happened to be military aged Chinese nationals coming in through the infrastructure the Chinese government is building in South America and she did all this despite repeatedly embarrassing herself at every public speaking opportunity. So, I wouldn't say she's done nothing. Her record is really quite impressive.

@@s.gibson9329it’s no wonder the real democrats like rfk are willing to work with republicans just to stop the stupidity of this administration. Worst president I’ve seen in all my years. And im a democrat and no way in hell would I vote for it again.

She broke everything.

23 to 28 percent tax increase on corporations Will add a 33 percent increase on consumers😢

That is true we seen all what Harris can do. Nada

Back to washing paper plates

Not true,she fixing the election

She's a commie and that's what they do. Biden has a fried brain and only recognizes ice cream. What a team of buffoons!

Brainwashing

IT'S UNFORTUNATE BUT MOST PEOPLE VOTE THE WAY THEY ARE TOLD TO VOTE. THEY CAN'T THINK FOR THEMSELVES.

@@evan22303 kinda how most people feel about another trump presidency.

Because it would literally benefit us. But you go cheer on the elitists.

@@MrSaritch57 how does it benefit you? What in the last 4 years has benefited you?

Bingo. That is why I am voting for Trump.

Seriously 😅

@@cathyfitzgerald3032 Most of the economy is related to the price of fuel. MOST. Not all.........

Everything comes on a truck ,its simple math ,you can even do it while petting your cat ​@cathyfitzgerald3032

Maybe we should get some crayons out and help Catherine "figure it out"

@mattjaps995 yall had a 76% percent profit margin as an industry. That's not small. The price gouging is being done by the grocery companies, and that's easily attainable data.

@@SmilingCoyote82 more like 1% net

@@SmilingCoyote82 I drive a truck and the fuel surcharge is rising prices. We charge more for delivery to cover fuel cost. That is the #1 reason prices raise. Everything is delivered by a truck. Everything and the price of fuel matters.

Some peoduxts you lose money or break even the margins are in certain items

exactly , all grocery store margins are small

For sure! All those Micronesians getting free benefits no problem but our disability and veterans are struggling.

Americans didn't elect these people.

Obama started all the unrest in the Middle East as well. I remember him giving Iran all that money and going on an apology tour all over the Middle East but not to Israel.

​@@glennamccabe9770they were just as bad off under trump. Give your head a shake.

Bingo

Trump will make it worse. Just look at what he did with his first term. If he gets back in power it will be much worse.

Current high prices for essentials are caused by corporate greed. Look up how their net profits get higher every time they raise prices.

They cheat at everything

They need to go to prison

Unregulated capitalism needs to go...it's why this country suffers....but hey you keep eating that b.s.. they feed you.

NONSENSE. STOP PARROTING TRUMP BULLS**IT

@@OrangeGuyBlows unregulated? Everything is regulated. That’s the problem to much regulation. I’m a farmer, and have a construction company. The state and federal government have their hands in all of it. Our crop inputs have quadrupled in last 3 years due to regulations. Now we cannot as farmers compete with foreign producers. Because ,people like you won’t buy local produce and meats. And, if you don’t like capitalism then go live somewhere where there is socialism or communism for a year see how you feel about it then.

@@benjaminjohnson5469 lmao....you're not a farmer. Even if you were tell us exactly how many foreign producers of american grown produce and farm raised animal food sources there is. I don't need to buy yours, i have my own. Now that cut through your lies , you can leave . People like YOU have no place in this country.

@@OrangeGuyBlowsSo why not leave the USA if a “free market” bothers you? I mean, freedom must not be to your liking.

Kamala Harris is beautiful

@@InotAfraid-c9b Get out of here bot!!

​@@InotAfraid-c9bRaptilian woman😂

Cartels still exist due to govt.

Democrats ruin everything!!! Vote them out

vote trump

Its Corporate $$$$$$$ profit CEO $$$$$$$and off shore tax shelters

Kroger reported $736 million in Q4 2023 profits with annual profits of over $2.1 billion .......yep those small margins. Keep eating the b.s. they feed you though. As of 2022, 60% of grocery sales are concentrated among five food corporations, opening the door for anti-competitive industry practices and continuing greedflation

Grocery margins are typically 27-37% depending on the chain.

He will lose by 12 million votes and be glad at least you won't lose your insurance and go bankrupt when you have a claim.

@troyprice531 that's what yall said the last time he lost.

​@@SmilingCoyote82 reason being they stole the electrician...the only way you democrats win is to cheat...if it was fair and legit Trump would have won in a landslide.. I walked away from that party since socialist Obama came in now these communist Marxist coming in...I was a older democrat these aren't democrats any more.. they are communist monsters that support the UN and wef for their agendas ...I'll never vote democrat again...they should abolish that party neo liberals Nazis...

@@troyprice531 You Tube SUCKS! POST THAT COMMENT

@@SmilingCoyote82 he didnt loose

Tell that to the oil companies with record net profits from price gouging.

12, JD could run for prez twice

4 more

@georgewhite4973 he's already said if you vote for him you'll never have to vote again. When did Republicans approve dictatorships?

I don't think Trump would be able to serve more than one additional term. Am I wrong? Ok, looked it up: two terms is the max for any candidate to serve, and it doesn't need to be consecutive. One could potentially serve just shy of 10 years though, if they take over for less than 2 years of a term they can go on to serve two more full terms.

No one that I know.

Everyone. They just won't admit it.

Suddenly went up Jan 6 2021?

I am voting for Trump. Take someone to the polls or help someone get registered. No time not to double down. Especially in swing states.

Things will be even worse for you under Trump. The problem is that so much of our food is processed by a small number of companies. Back when corn was over $6 per bushel it made sense that food was expensive. Now that corn is under $4 is should be cheap. Trump will do nothing about this. These food companies are ripping off farmers and consumers. When Trump is in office your landlord will be able to evict you for any reason they want and then you will be homeless. Since being homeless is illegal you will be arrested and jailed. You will be rented out to various companies like perhaps one of these food companies. Instead of illegal immigrants doing this work it will be our own enslaved citizens. Since abortion will be illegal there will be plenty of poor people in America to do this. What we need to do is take in illegal immigrants but don't give them anything and especially don't give them rights. We don't need to make poor people to do these jobs when so many are already fleeing here for their lives because of our war on drugs allowing drug cartels to exist and take over countries. We should have mandatory abortions for the poor so our citizens at least start out on the right foot and not born directly into poverty. If we do this and legalize all of the drugs we will fix all the damage done within a generation.

⁠@@FloydRunner2049This isn’t about Trump keep up and pay attention.

Don't feel bad, since this administration I lost 16yr job,house can't get any kind of assistance but they can sure accommodate these illegals they let in. I'm homeless now and I'm 60. It's to late to start fresh. Im still gonna vote for Trump 🇺🇸 I don't need to live in communism

why shes know good

Ya stupid people

​@@jaelancaster5506good question. We should get Megyn on it!

Monopolistic capitalism needs to pay more taxes and price gauging needs to be controlled .. enough of industrial lobbying ❤❤😢😢

Food rationing and bread lines.

@JeanetteFaith Probably, but you would still have to pay for the bread and food. There would just be less of it because of the businesses going out of business! 🥹😡

@@Stephen-fe8bq Correct.

And the middle class is getting destroyed. Just like in third world heel hole the world over. Trump gets that it is a country’s middle class who actually create the goods and perform the services that is the actual wealth of a nation.

😂

There's a difference between capitalism and greed. Greed consumes capitalism.

Kamala would be proud of that ridiculous explanation.

It's been Reported that a Government Run Grocery Store is in the works and I don't remember what part of the nation for the Pilot program to be at but I have heard about Government Run Liquor Stores in Pennsylvania though and they have said that they don't have much selection of products for sale in them.....

@@carolrice2063 government stores where they set the prices and profits to the government .. they tell employees what they make, no free enterprise and no competition. there would be no way for the average person to start a small business, compete and be successful ... but that is what they want -- rich elite controlling a poor population

The New World Order in the works.

@@carolrice2063 grocery stores are penny operations. The profit margins are slim after paying labor and loss can be high at times due to refrigeration break downs and sub par produce that doesn't sell and then there's the buyers making mistakes at times, etc... You really have to know your market and you have to stay on top of it constantly. If suddenly you don't have the "authority" to set your prices or there are caps put in then you have no control of your finances. BOOM! You're out of business. Then along comes the government to feed the people. Hmm?

@@willhall640 Government Run and Government Owned is what I have heard but like I said about Pennsylvania they have the Liquor Stores in the state from what I was told about..... and Government Owned....

They have been quietly correcting numbers for entire Biden term.

You obviously don’t know anything about grocery store income. Grocery stores net income after taxes is about 1%. There is not any grocery store that makes more than 3% net profit.
