Harris' (apparent) proposal to make a crime out of grocery "price gouging" could be a major unforced error.
The details will tell us, but we haven't seen an actual plan yet.
What we need is to break up the monopolies and cartels that run pretty much every sector of our economy and restore true competition.
Granular interference with markets won't cut it.
