I LOVE the idea!! It's better than manufacturers' ploys of making products smaller and, at the same time, increasing prices! That's called a double whammy!! ANOTHER sneaky things some manufacturers are now doing is charging MORE per ounce if you buy the bigger box or bottle. They had conditioned consumers into being able to pay less per ounce if the bought the larger quantity. Now that we got used to that, they said. hmmm, let's charge more per ounce because consumers will never notice what we're doing to them! NOT SO FAST, Buster!
I've noticed this as well. Luckily they show the price per oz in small print below the price. I think it's a two pronged attack. It screws the people who don't read that price sticker and it encourages bargain hunters that do to buy two of the smaller ones. I've fallen for the 2nd ploy telling myself "Well, I showed them" as I walk out with twice as much corn starch as I will use in a lifetime.
I just put on my Lefty Beanie cap and came up with a great idea.
With gas prices reaching record highs every single day with no end in sight I think Biden should mandate that the Nations gas stations start selling gas by the half gallon? Our Perception, Feelings and Emotions have been well played on by the Democrats and their ability to hype the Doom and Gloom of Trump and to downplay their own parties failings. It is all about Perception and Feelings with the Democrats and with a $5 per gallon average our Feelings are turning sour.
With the media on their side they should be able to sell this idea of "cheaper" gas to the masses and we can all feel a bit better about the economy, inflation and the future if fuel was $2.50 again (for a half gallon)...
I can hear the media now singing "Happy Days Are Here Again" as they dance around a gas sign with the price of $2.50 posted. Yeah but look at the details kids that is for half a gallon..
Until the refineries get their arses back to normalcy- things are just gonna suck. But I read how they went to low production because of the pandemic but to get back they need all this extra money? Ok - but the price keeps climbing??? Whose really got us by our pelotas ?? BS all the way.
This thread takes the cake for stupidity...you conservatives are totally clueless to how the world works...nobody governs based on "feelings"....you all are the real snowflakes.

Only in your dreams!
Most ever thing the lefts says and does is about "feelings"!
As usual, people still defending the idiot in chief.
Also noted and reinforced, liberals have zero sense of humor. Total stiffs.
