FTC orders Walmart, Amazon, Kroger and more to turn over information on empty shelves and "Sky High" prices...

"The Federal Trade Commission said Monday that it is investigating the causes behind the ongoing supply chain disruptions and how they are "causing serious and ongoing hardships for consumers and harming competition in the U.S. economy.""

Really really... you can't make this chit us...

Economics 101...

1) If the shelves are bare... it is because everything is sold... and everything has gone bye-bye.

2) If new chit does not get made or come to the store... it means the shelves will remain bare.

3) "Sky High Prices" on stuff that is not on the shelf and has already gone bye-bye... means the prices were at a level where someone exchanged money for chit they needed.

If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

Well well well, if it isn’t the consequences of their own actions.

What a joke. Does the FTC think they're keeping the stuff off the shelves to prevent sales?

Yeah, that makes sense.

They will get to the bottom of it. Then send a sternly worded letter.

Same.

The person leading this is pretty anti-Amazon. Smells like a way to get a peak inside before bringing anti-trust proceedings next year.

No surprise here, right out of the Democrat’s playbook.

Blame corporate greed is second only to The Race card.

Sad thing is over half the country believes their propaganda

I just heard on the radio, The Biden Administration is blaming Oil Companies and their greed for high gas prices.

Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Give a man a welfare check, a forty ounce malt liquor, a crack pipe, an Obama phone, free health insurance. and some Air Jordan's and he votes Democrat for a lifetime.

True. And scary. All one needs to remember is when Gorbachev went into that grocery store in a small Texas town. Then he knew.
