minus-squareBlackbeardlinkfedilinkEnglish0•9 months ago How do you know that hasn’t already happened? Bob Casey’s office released a report on shrinkflation, and sent a letter to the GAO to identify transparency measures that the federal government can implement to help consumers recognize shrinkflation. Sounds like there’s a lot already moving. Why is him getting out in front of the issue in the media not considered “ammo for his ads”? If all he needs is something to virtue signal about, then isn’t that exactly what he’s doing right now?
