Is this also in reference to the bazinga-powered on-site price gouging that's starting to come into vogue in numerous grocery stores?
Opposing that makes you a communist. If that was so, that'd be a lot of new communists. 
Grocery stores operate on razor thin margins
Even if they are somebody in the supply chain most definitely isn't operating on razor thin margins.
I heard the same bullshit about game corporations, the kind that use double-residency trickery to pay no taxes and then get a tax refund, such as Activision-Blizzard.
Despite operating on razor-thin margins they still make record profits after throwing out half their inventory every day
Love worrying about "loss prevention" while half of the fresh stock we have is thrown into the trash.
exactly, its financial engineering. that way they avoid paying taxes meanwhile their offshore companies get insane margins.
Weird how grocery stores run on "razor-slim margins" but still keep pulling in record profits year after year, wonder what that's about.
The corporate entity that owns the liability associated with food sales has razor slim profit margins, but the other corporate entities involved in grocery sales that exist to siphon off surplus value in more tax efficient ways are making fat stacks!
Communism is when you oppose tiny cameras on the shelf that use ai to scan your naked body and determine based on how shitty your clothes are how much you're going to pay 
brb dressing homeless and not showering to get that sweet AI discount
nonono you misunderstood, dressing poor, you pay MORE money 
Then they call cops to jail you for vagrancy.
For-profit prisons yearn for the slaves.
It's amazing how mask off Musk is now, lol
It's amazing how mask off Musk is now, lol
Musk off. 
Makes you wonder about what the other billionaires say and believe behind closed doors.
A store comes out with a surge pricing scheme and suddenly the "public discourse" is that telling grocery stores what to do is communism.
This is by design. This is PR to get ahead of the lawsuits coming.
I expect plenty of brunch liberals to look down their wine-sniffing noses at everyone else and say "just game the system by using apps and special membership deals to get cheaper prices (that are still higher than they used to be). Skill issue!"
:🍷🍷 
Fuckin hate the homework society libs. Instead of just doing things, you make people waste time with homework. Yes I can get groceries cheaper if I buy them at four different places. But that's a bullshit society.
intensifies
"homework society" is a great descriptor, I've always had trouble verbalizing why shit like this bugs me so much in a pithy way, I'm gonna use this
Yeah. I mean, it's fundamentally the bullshit, but I feel like homework also accurately describes it. 401k is another great example, where you're expected to become a market genius to maximize your retirement.
"Maybe we should make food cheaper?"
"FUCK YOU NOOOOOO" 
Everything that opposes this year's corporate skullduggery is communism, a bedtime story for bazingas.
the liberal National Convention in 1793 implementing the General Maximum: Communism
the United States Food Administration in 1917: Communism
301 AD, Roman Emperor Diocletian writing the Edict on Maximum Prices: you better goddamn believe that was Communism
Richard Nixon
avowed communist. remember when he negotiated with the Chinese instead of threatening them with nuclear destruction? and the EPA??!?!
Richard Nixon said "We're all Keynesians now"
For those who don't know their history, John Milton Keynes was a Communist
Everything before Kroger started fucking over its customers in a new way this year was communism. 
If I go to the rich people grocery store I see the same items for $1-2 more at least.
How else are they going to keep the poors out?
Everything I don't like is communist!
All that and more on a billiard ball brains guide on politics
in high school there was this new kid who had just moved from central europe. she told my friend, who told me and the rest of our friends, that back home there were laws about the price of bread and milk. they had to be cheap so that everyone could afford to eat nutritious food. Honestly I remember the expression on my friends face, very serious, when sharing this. it was a very important piece of information.
none of us had ever heard the concept of price controls before. but damn that's obviously a good idea. we talked about how it wasn't really fair to celiacs and vegans and hypothosized how that could be addressed. but in general the idea of a government making such an intervention was a real brainwave.
it's a pretty boring story but somehow was formative on me and I think of it all the time. especially when i do groceries.
Burgerland trains Burgerlanders to hate and fear price controls without even leaving room to think about them, and that's definitely for a reason.
american grocery stores are "hyper-competitive" 
Won't someone think of the price gougers? 
so are they considering price-controls? Or did the right invent this themselves?
Patiently waiting for Palmer Lucky to have an accident with his murder headset. 
He's such an amazing piece of shit and because of that pungent aura wafting off of him I never got on the Oculus Rift hype bandwagon. 
There's a lot of wonderous potential for both VR and AI that this world will be unlikely to see simply because it's not profitable. 
The abusive, creepy, and grifty parts are very profitable though! 
Patiently waiting for Palmer Lucky to have an accident with his murder headset.
He's so blue curtain bazinga that he modeled that murder headset off of a treat he consumed much like the torment nexus thing. 
Price controls to benefit consumers = communism
Price controls to benefit producers = the free market in action
with the Hank Venture level of processing reality:
"I think they're drunk on rum...because they're pirates!"
Schroedingers profit margins lmao
They won't do it so it's not even worth thinking about.
It's worth it to point and laugh at what looks like a hubris spiral from one of the most vile men in the world.
