Kroger Egg Pricing Turns Merger Trial Into Inflation Fight

Claims that a Kroger executive ‘admitted to price-gouging’ are false. Saying milk and were increased beyond the inflation rate isn’t gouging, by definition.

Price gouging is when a seller raises prices on goods or services to an unreasonable or unfair level, usually during a of crisis. Some to identify price gouging include:
Extraordinarily high prices: Businesses can increase prices, but they shouldn’t raise them excessively to take advantage of a crisis.

Comparing prices to similar products: Some states prohibit significant price increases compared to products. For example, if bottled water is priced at double the cost of similar products, that may be price gouging.

Increases exceeding a certain percentage: In some states, increases exceeding 20% may be considered price gouging.

Price gouging laws vary by jurisdiction, but they generally come into effect during declared states of emergency and focus on essential goods. In most states, price gouging is a violation of unfair or deceptive trade practices law.

Migrant Buses At South Bend Social Security Office Causes Uproar

Migrant Buses At Office Causes Uproar

On Monday, July 29, I was tagged in several social media posts about two dropping migrants off at the South Social Security office. People had expressed that they couldn’t utilize the office’s services because of the number of people there.

The people dropped off at the SSA building were all young men appeared to be Mexican, Central, or South American. Most likely they were migrants. People asked that I look into it. I did.

Rep. Jim Banks, who’s also running for Senate in Indiana also shared a post about the buses in South Bend.

That particular post he responded to was removed, but others remain.

Vice President Kamala Harris was routinely labeled as Biden’s ‘border czar’ by the news media. The Democrats and many in the media are trying to erase that historical fact.

South Bend Mayor James Mueller issued this statement to the South Bend Tribune:

“This was a group of lawful, documented residents at the social security office,” Mueller, a Democrat, said in a written statement. “Rep. Jim Banks is a shameful opportunist, spreading racist political lies instead of advancing solutions for South Bend or our nation’s broken immigration system.”

Before he issued the statement, Mayor Mueller’s spokeswoman told the paper:

the mayor’s office learned enough about the situation to know that the people were at the Social Security office lawfully conducting business.

Given that migrants who have no legal standing to stay in the U.S. often get released into the country pending their hearing, it’s certainly a concern that these might be illegal immigrants, or asylum seekers who don’t qualify for asylum under the law. This is a common issue with the country’s border policies. Allowing migrants who crossed the border illegally to remain in the U.S. after captured is a signature complaint about Biden’s border policy.

I contacted Mayor Mueller’s office since he didn’t answer people’s about the migrants at the SSA building to see if I get .

Here’s what I sent him:

After talking about the issue in my first segment on my radio show, Mayor Mueller’s office decided to send this response:

Rep. Jim Banks made no such assertions in his post. It was more ad hominem attacks from the Mayor’s office and the questions weren’t answered.

Finally, I was sent the response from the SSA about the migrant buses in South Bend from someone else who was working on this issue (I erased the name of the recipient):

[unknown]

If the Mayor’s office hadn’t kept this all close to the vest and was just honest about what was happening, people might not have been as angry as they were. Instead, they chose to hurl false insults and attacks at people who were just trying to figure out what was going on.

Now all know the truth.
