Man, this upcoming election between Harris and Trump is going to shake things up big time. It's crazy how it could mess with our finances.

From $10K to $25k that's the minimum range of profit return every week I think it's not a bad one for me, now I have enough to pay bills and take care of my family

What are the best strategies to protect my portfolio? I've heard that a downturn will devastate the financial market, so I'm concerned about my $200k stock portfolio.,...

When you say you can't charge more than X for a product. The moment the cost of producing it rises up to the point you can't profit or even make it for that price. They will shut down production of that product... and often lay off workers, or even close the company/farm So sure you will not have whatever for more than X... but you also will not have the product either because they can't afford to make it and pay their bills. And that applies to food production. So when you vote her in and it goes through and food becomes scarce because farms can't afford to grow or produce the crops, blame the idiots who implemented price controls and those who voted them in.

If you elect me I will fix the problems once I get into office - says the woman in office

I have seen this before in my home country when Ferdanan Marcos was president. Price control is just eupahmism for absolute control over production, distribution, and exchange. When markets start to dry up because the government says you can not make profit over the goods you sell, and the companies say we can't operate at a net loss, they will stop production. Then, the following occurs - mass shortage on supply - hording as many will start buying up the little resources left Black markets start to flurish, get ready for $40 loaf of bread - When the supply completely runs out, the government will then start making goodz (kamala said she will snatch patents away) Get ready for government cheese - then The rationing (in the Philippines, we had to stand in line just to get a small bag of rice and a bag of fish. If you are lucky, you might get 1 can of spam) Meanwhile, the rich and elites get the best beef and chicken, the best luxury has to offer. You know what the Filipinos did to marcos? They fought a revolution to overthrow him and Exile him and his wife... you Westerners better learn from our mistake..... socialism /communism is just a facad. It judt a method of control disguised as a trojan horse, making YOU believe that the government is there to keep you safe....

How about the ftc do its job? Don’t allow all of the chicken producers to merge? Or pork and beef producers?

Kamala has to take questions so we can hear her answers and not the answers of people like this woman who want to tell us what Kamala meant. If a farmer can only sell a steer at 5.00 a pound and at that price a grocery store can only make profit selling hamburger meat and steaks at certain prices, why would Kamala be able to pick a better price? She can’t. It would cause massive waste, shortages and job losses, like price controls always do. Trump made 5.00 pints of water illegal after hurricanes, this is very different.

Common sense? This has failed horribly every time and every where is has been tried.
-
Don’t forget, my blue haired friends, that wage controls are part of price controls.

Harris said "gauging"😊
-
Kamala, how do you stand on limiting the money you gain while in public service as an elected official? Do you have a policy in insider elected official trading? That would be a sign of integrity. But I would expect crickets.
-
4 more years of these policies and nite nite American economy if it already hasn’t happened

Kamala Harris didn't even say the term correctly, like she didn't know what the concept was referring to. She said 'price gauging" which would mean 'price measuring', when the actual term is 'price gouging' (referring to increasing prices beyond fair levels). People just choose to ignore this stuff, but it shows that Harris isn't familiar with anything she is talking about.

If prices go up across the board, then it is not price gouging. When the Fed prints money, it puts upward pressure on prices on products and services. In 2020, the Fed printed 5.5 trillion dollars and swapped them with new bonds from the Treasury. Then that money was sent to consumers and businesses. It is so simple.

Stores are not the blame gas goes up prices go up duh how dumb they think we are
-
Take away energy source in your country prices will go up on everything!

We aren’t dealing with price gouging, we are dealing with government overspending. Kamala is the PROBLEM not the solution
