I do think that when harris said stuff like “stop price gouging” fascist media made the mistake of airing her and combatting the point - which is weak sauce on their part. More of that would probably have worked. Less ads about trump unfitness more about reducing grocery costs.
Grocery costs will continue to go up, because climate change has disrupted food production and distribution (among other things.) We could make prices fall artificially, but the actual cost is higher. And anything we do to change that must be paid in more externalities. Americans don’t want to have the hard conversations. We want pleasant half- truths and lies. That’s what we elected.
Nah. The comparative price of food will go down if wages rise. And wages are artificially low. Food scarcity is not yet a serious issue in the USA. It’s a purely political issue.

Harris should have lied, then. There’s no punishment for promising the world and failing to deliver.
