7. Biden is a pretty bad socialist for forcing corporations to make so much profit

since Biden controls the prices of stuff.

It's a win-win for these corporations to jack up their prices. People will keep on buying stuff because we need to eat food. But many voters will simply blame whoever is in the white house. Conservatives enjoy associating high prices with socialist scarcity instead of corporate monopoly greed.

Things were extra dumb during the 2020 pandemic shortages, when idiots claimed it was socialist scarcity.

Personally, I enjoyed Jason Chaffetz's $114 bougie turkey when a comparable one could be had for about $35 at any local grocery store or $60 for a comparable organic one at whole foods. Yep. Socialism is ruining our lives.
