I would like to see more concrete actions limiting corporate price-gouging, and not just words. Corporations aren’t going to do anything just because the president says “stop doing it”.
There’s a big uptick in antitrust action under the Biden administration. There’s more than just talk here and the administration is trying to push this in a progressive direction. Unfortunately, the regulatory agencies and courts are infected with neoliberalism due to 4 decades of neoliberal domination of our government, economy, and society, so it’s not as successful as it may have been in, say, the 70s. But that just means we need to keep that rudder pinned to the left until we get there. The absolute worst thing we could do right now for this and so many other reasons is elect a republican.
We tax wealth so little. Even some tax wouldn’t be worth the move. We’re just so bought & sold the idea of actually making people who aren’t poor pay their dues is frightening.

Until we get a wealth tax, nothing will change. And even then, all the rich folks will just move out of the country.

Why do you assume that’s all he do? I like that news headlines make you think sweetie but don’t just take them literally
