August 23, 20242 yr I'm disappointed with the narrative on price gouging. It should be a winner, but not the way they are framing it. Price gouging is an EXTREMELY important battleground for inflation, not the inflation we just got back from, the inflation that's coming for the next 5 years. AI algorithms for your on line purchases, bar code megastore price pegged to moving market values and demographic data, rampant surge pricing on anything and everything. These are all already here and will soon be on our doorsteps for every purchasing day of our lives and all of them will be stuffed with price gouging in the algorithms. Putting an agency in place to attack it is forward thinking and necessary. If you go reactive to this instead of proactive it will be billions of $$ in fat profits racked on common consumers for every day goods before you're even out of the gate.
August 24, 20242 yr Back when Subway had $5 footlongs, they were making them at a loss. Not exactly a loss leader either, since a footlong sandwich is supposed to be the core of your business.
