President Biden has begun to accuse stores of overcharging shoppers, as food costs remain a burden for consumers and a political problem for the president.
I feel like I’ve heard a lot of bias placed against the idea of government in the US as something that’s the source of problems in the country, where private organizations are usually seen as being the solution and not at all related somehow. It doesn’t always strike the mark when criticizing private organizations… people will even jump to the defense of billionaires. Agree that mentioning government grocery stores would result in something like “what you want the government to run groceries? they can’t do anything right, why would you want them to do that?”
I mean when you have one of two major political parties who are dedicated to making the government suck, it’s not surprising that the government sometimes sucks. And when you have a lot of low information (or bad information) people, it’s not surprising that they don’t connect those dots.
Republicans are an existential problem for the United States.

It certainly is NOT a conservative problem. Both republicans and democrats behave this way.
I’ll remind you of what Biden said to billionaires behind closed doors during his presidential campaign: “Nothing will fundamentally change.”
“small enough to drown in the bath tub” is a republican pledge
