  1. <I don't see prices in corner stores significantly better and people flocking to them.> Out of convenience. Corner stores are expensive because they can't afford to buy in bulk plus they don't have the space or customer volume to support lower pricing.

  2.  @nuxkamina  <but tax rates were far higher in the 1950's.> Yet few people paid such rates and were eventually done away with.

  11. <These punitive taxes need to come in both extremely strict and very painful for all executives and shareholders!> Only for you to pay it in the end in the form of higher food prices and/or empty shelves.

  12. <The government will do nothing to meaningfully act to stabilize prices because they are controlled by oligarchs.> No. The government will do nothing, because they benefit from it in the form of carbon, fuel, etc. revenue.
