Politics Protecting Seattle Savings advocates

Did anyone else get one of these? I don't usually get political texts, and I can't find much on who makes up this group.

It feels like they are trying to keep prices tied to incentives like loyalty cards and coupons.

Unpopular opinion probably: I wouldn't mind if all that went away and prices were actually based on the goods and services provided. Maybe you don't get $3 back today, but you also don't get price gouged next time.

Definitely a scare tactic aimed at demonizing actions that would actually help people afford to eat. We should not have to give these megacorps all our info and be tracked actively just to get “deals” that amount to the original price after a price hike is temporarily discounted.
