Let’s set the record straight on “surveillance pricing.” Digital shelf labels don’t track shoppers or set individualized prices. See the facts behind how retailers use this technology to improve accuracy and efficiency. bit.ly/3TSDvCa youtube.com/watch?v=sXt5ht9f…

Public claims deserve a public response. Especially when they’re inaccurate and misleading. @owenslindsay1 has repeatedly suggested Walmart uses or plans to use technology to charge people more based on their personal information.

What goes into the price you pay? From tariffs and transportation costs to consumer demand and competition, retailers use data-driven pricing and personalized offers to deliver value and earn loyalty. bit.ly/4xksNSV youtube.com/watch?v=sXt5ht9f…

Thank you @SenatorDurbin for pointing out the high cost of swipe fees in today’s Judiciary Committee hearing. People need to understand that the credit card duopoly scams American families out of $1800 annually. Pass the Credit Card Competition Act. #swipeflation

IMO, the CHIPS/IRA era was a subsidy-fueled sugar high, BUT these data continue to show that there's been no tariff-fueled factory boom.
US real factory construction continued declining in data released this morning, as CHIPS Act projects complete, IRA projects get cancelled, and tariffs weigh on investment Total manufacturing construction is now down more than 25% from its 2024 highs

Oklahoma should pass state legislation to ban #creditcard #swipefees on sales tax and tips “to keep Main Street dollars out of Wall Street hands,” the Oklahoma Hotel and Lodging Association says. @GovStitt tinyurl.com/2jz8ypku
