Is price gouging illegal?
Kamala is proposing making it illegal at the federal level.
And that's why there is a portion of people who dislike Harris; they dislike anything.
Harris will be painted as socialist/communist. It will be interesting to see how much stigma those labels still carry.
It's almost meaningless nowadays since everyone is a socialist, according to them.
I mean it would be funny to turn the tables on their nationalist rhetoric by noting the USSR wasted a lot of resources on border security and stupid walls. We've gone from a country that celebrates walls coming down to a country that will never be satisfied with the worlds largest contiguous wall.
USSR wasn't socialist either.
I think saying that borders on a "no true scotsman" fallacy. We can say the USSR was both socialistic and nationalistic but it was not democratic.
Maybe people just dislike cops and genocide?
I feel like that happens no matter what? Doesn't make it right. Like, we install dictators all the time that commit genocide.
Sounds like a realistic plan from a trustable person. \s
I mean you can drop the sarcasm indicator and actually be correct. Every single state has price gouging laws already. However, I know Republicans will now act like it's a terrible "communist" plan just to obstruct it.
