    A proposed inquiry would “shed light” on why grocery prices remain so high

    Greed…

    The answer, as for so many others, is greed.

      worked for a food distrobutor during covid and they had a meeting about jacking up prices on covid supplies and all other items. At the time I said the covid supplies was a big issue. Nope, full steam ahead. I even did a whistlr blower complaint to the FTC with all the documents. Nothing ever came of it.

        My work magically got a supply of N95 masks early in Covid. It was unexpected, so we didn’t have a plan or a system for them. Didn’t think to have a limit or anything.

        A crew from Albert Lee bought every single one, took them back to their store, and sold them at 100% markup.
