Price controls would result in shortages which would result in rationing which would result in starvation which would result in crime which would result in a police state crackdown.
Mainstream media outlet CNBC host Joe Kernen pushed back on Senator Elizabeth Warren Friday for defending Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris’ communist grocery price control plan.
“For 40 years, companies didn’t know how to price gouge until three and a half years ago when President Biden was elected. Where was the price gouging? We had 40 year highs in inflation. Where was the price? They just learned how to do this three and a half years ago,” Kernen said sternly.
“No. The difference is prices were not going up. As I said, prices started going up for a whole host of reasons. Prices went up because of the pandemic. Prices went up because of supply chain kinks. Prices up because of the war in Ukraine. Prices were going up,” Warren retorted in a heated fashion.

On August 16 talkshow host Mike Adams discussed the Harris price control policy on his show.
Adams explained how implementing price controls would trigger a series of events leading to famine and civil unrest.
First, Adams said, the price controls would make food retailers unable to procure food items that cannot be manufactured for a profit under the artificially low prices. This would lead to shortages of items with low profit margins, Adams gave the example of peanut butter.
Only items with a high margin (low cost of manufacture high cost of sale) such as Monster energy drinks would be available. This would trigger an initial reaction in some shoppers to ‘stock up’, which would undoubtedly be referred to as ‘hoarding’ by the government, Adams explained. The hoarding may result in police raids on those with extra food supplies.
These events would result in the establishment of limits on purchases, called rationing, likely monitored via biometrics such as fingerprints or eyeball scans, Adams said. He also discussed how it’s likely that in order to pass the grocery ration background check, shoppers would likely need their updated Covid vaccinations.
The rationing would result in increased theft, leading to the necessity of having armed security stationed at grocery stores. The rationing would also result in black markets for food, yet the black market prices would be higher than the current non-price-controlled prices.
Individuals would likely begin increasing food production in their home gardens in response, yet Adams said that home gardening would likely be viewed as ‘circumventing government food controls’ and be banned. Initially, backyard gardeners would likely be ticketed or arrested. If the crime of gardening gets too out of hand however, Adams said he predicts backyard gardeners would just be shot on the spot.
Adams based his analysis off historical events in other communist countries like China, Cuba and North Korea.

While the events transpiring from price control policies sound controversial, Warren is no stranger to controversy.
Notably, Warren transitioned from white to native American Indian, earning her the Indian name ‘Pocahontas’ – the name of a famous native American Indian woman from the Virginia colony who was civilized and Christianized by the English colonists, then taken to England in 1616 to familiarize the English people with her novel ethnicity and show them that her people were capable of being civilized, as she was sometimes referred to by her contemporaries as being a ‘civilized savage‘.
