Elizabeth Warren pretending it’s the EVIL GROCERY OVERLORDS who are making the prices in grocery stores shoot through the roof is one of the silliest things we’ve seen from her, and considering she lied about her heritage for DECADES to take advantage of programs created for a minority group that’s pretty damn bad.
See for yourself:
Giant grocery store chains force high food prices onto American families while rewarding executives & investors with lavish bonuses and stock buybacks. I'm demanding they answer for putting corporate profits over consumers and workers during the pandemic. https://t.co/NvY2MKKJNP

Of course the lawmakers are deflecting, they don’t want to admit their insane contributions to even MORE INSANE inflation is what’s really causing the issues. So what do Democrats do? Blame the evil, faceless, corporate America.
Grocery store chains.
YEAH, NICE TRY, POCAHONTAS.
Christina Pushaw was good enough to bring some puppets and crayons to the party and explain it to Liz:
You sound like a communist demagogue. Prices rise during inflation. Inflation happens when the government prints too much money.

And trust us, our government has printed WAY TOO DAMN much money.
This is her worst one of these tweets. I know for a fact grocery stores operate on tiny profit margins. Industry average when I was in school 5 years ago was between 3-4% profit margin. Of all the industries to try to malign for this practice grocers are the last ones.

One of her worst tweets.
Agreed.
maybe talk to mayor pete about the supply chain and how it's F-ed up.

First Big Meat. Now Big Grocery. I guess every profession is a nefarious conspiracy.
What about Big Lawyer, Senator?

Right?
They wanted to blame the evil meat people last time.
We suppose when your supporters are dumb enough to believe this sort of crap you’ll just keep pushing it.
Take a basic economics class and then get back to us.

You were paid hundreds of thousands of dollars after lying about your Native American heritage that added to crushing student debt but do go on.

I read one greedy grocery exec made 350k just to teach one class a semester. Oh wait …

Oh, wait, indeed.
