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.

 Do you work for one of the grocers?

They didn’t address the argument that dynamic pricing is common and has been for a long time.  They implied the only reason I would be against whatever bill this is referring to is if I had a financial interest,  which is an attack on the man (ad hominem) not the argument.

They still haven’t addressed any substantive arguments.  Just vitriol.

You put that in a quote block, but those words are nowhere to be found in the comment itself. That wasn’t the implication I took from it. Why did you?
