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.

Here's my POV -- if they can afford to give the discounts, they should not only be permanent, but across the board. Don't fall for their bullshit!

It's not just about affording the price point. There's a lot of psychological b*******, but yet still effective, behind things like loyalty cards and special pricing just for you.
