Incredibly sad.  And the Democrat candidate here in the USA is talking
freezing food prices and making grocery stores report any changes in
their prices, causing huge paperwork and never ending bureaucracies.

The presumed Democratic candidate for President (she won't be the
candidate until the convention chooses her) appears to be talking
about artificially raising prices and keeping them raised far longer
than the economic situation requires. And I don't want to see a quote
from 5 years ago on the topic; people's ideas change over time.

I suspect you have happened on a Putin/Trump Talking Point and have
swallowed it whole. Surely by now you realize that these things are
useful only as projections onto the Dems of what Trump (and so the
Republicans, as long as they do not disavow him and all his works and
all his ways) would like to do. Which is fine in itself -- it's always
helpful to know what the other guys are planning.

How about a quote from 4 days ago?
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/08/15/kamala-harris-price-gouging-groceries/
    In a news release Wednesday, her campaign said the first 100 days
    of her presidency would include the “first-ever federal ban on
    price gouging on food and groceries — setting clear rules of the
    road to make clear that big corporations can’t unfairly exploit
    consumers to run up excessive corporate profits on food and
    groceries.”

We know so little about Harris's policies; this is not a good first policy!
