On Monday, President Joe Biden blamed retailers for supply chain issues, rather than his own administration, and launched an investigation into retailers.
This is just a repeat strategy from November when the administration opened an investigation into oil companies for "gouging people" rather than accepting the blame for skyrocketing gas prices.
How utterly embarrassing.
Breitbart reports:
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) probe into nine massive retailers demands “detailed information” to explain how supply chain disruptions “are causing serious and ongoing hardships for consumers and harming competition in the U.S. economy,” the agency announced Monday.
FTC Chair Lina Khan excused the private sector investigation by claiming the supply chain crisis must be studied to “deepen” the Biden-Harris administration’s “understanding” of “business conduct.”
“The FTC has a long history of pursuing market studies to deepen our understanding of economic conditions and business conduct, and we should continue to make nimble and timely use of these information-gathering tools and authorities,” Khan said.
The companies must comply with the probe within 45 days, which will consist of gathering operational data to "expose" points of crisis in our supply chain.
The companies under FTC scrutiny include Walmart, Amazon, Kroger, C&S Wholesale Grocers, Associated Wholesale Grocers, McLane, Procter & Gamble, Tyson Foods, and Kraft Heinz.
Supply chain-centric corporations are not the only ones placed under investigation during President Biden’s tenure. In November, Biden admitted he asked the Justice Department to investigate oil companies for price gouging.
“I have the attorney general taking a look at whether or not these gas companies are gouging people,” Biden smugly announced.
