The one-time grocery rebate will be issued next week — here’s who’s eligible for it an how much you could get.
here’s who’s eligible for it
Galen Weston is eligible for it. Everyone else is just a link in the chain.
This is a direct wealth transfer from taxpayers to shareholders because government is too compromised and/or chickenshit to implement a tax policy that discourages profiteering.
Fair, but this isn’t just free money for grocery stores – it’s no-strings-attached cash that will be spent where people most need it. Which, yes, will be groceries for a lot of people.
I don’t like the handling of grocery gouging, but this specific rebate is not the problem.
extra money in the pocket is always nice but wish our government went a little further- maybe tackle why prices are so high?
Agreed. I’m not going to say no to the money, but if gouging isn’t dealt with then a cash injection to grocery shoppers is going to turn into a reward for those doing the gouging. Not that I have any problem with direct cash payments, but this feels like half a solution.
I work in a difficult trade away from my family for long periods to be able to afford a fraction of what my parents had on a single income. Think I’m getting a single cent of that rebate?
Instead of putting a band-aid over a cut, why don’t we try to clot it?
Instead of maintaining all that useless yard space, why don’t we start to encourage urban farming? Introduce tax incentives for spending on home-use vertical farming structures.
I think a better analogy is: instead of putting a Band-Aid over a cut, why don’t we put the knives away?
Well, we’re already bleeding so we need the Band-Aid. But we should still put away the knives.
