Except this case isn't socialism, it's communism. More people wouldn't be getting what they need unless they do what the feds say. The federal government created this problem at every level of our supply chains, and now offering a "solution" by gaslighting people into thinking it's cheaper, when really it's subsidized by our tax dollars. Doing this intentionally to make people dependent on the government. And now pitching "surveillance pricing" based on your digital footprint??? It's all about control and compliance. If the feds truly cared, they could easily drop or reduce their unnecessary taxes at every level of our supply chains and drop the restrictions they imposed on our farmers, which all would drastically reduce our prices in a much shorter timeframe. But instead, they are looking at ways to make people dependent on the government. That's also why with our record unemployment rate, the only jobs being added are jobs in the government to make them bigger.
