Companies are using your data to set "personal" prices, & the FTC is finally starting to take notice.
Some states like MD & CA are passing laws to protect consumers, but it's not nearly enough in the face of corporate greed.
Even the @GMA anchors seem shocked this is legal.
Companies like Nike, Amazon, and WalMart are getting billions of dollars in tariff refunds.
Will working families see a dime?
Unlikely – and certainly not from the Trump administration – our @AlexSJacquez tells @fox11reno.
Gas prices have never been higher than $4 this late in the year, but they're currently $4.07.
@AlexSJacquez knows from experience - gas prices are directly correlated to people's feelings about the economy. And the vibes are BAD.
That's big trouble for Trump. @fox11reno
"It’s insane how expensive things have gotten."
"It's crazy."
"Everything is squeezing us."
Parents and teachers are feeling the squeeze this year for back to school supplies.
We found school supplies would cost 8% more this year compared to last – all thanks to Trump.
51% of workers say AI will mostly benefit business owners, but only 6% say most benefits will go to workers.
Workers have watched productivity gains go to shareholders for decades while their own paychecks stagnate.
Why would AI be any different?
Our new proposal is simple: Bring affordable homes directly to communities where the private market has fallen short.
It could expand homeownership in rural areas AND open the door for families who have historically been shut out of the housing market.
CNN: The price for school supplies is up almost 8% since last year
One thing about D.C. I've noticed over the years is that the vast majority of lawmakers and staffers in both parties really don't grasp how stressful it is for most families at the start of the school year.
I don't mean moderately stressful or inconvenient. I don't mean that
Health care policy in 2026 isn't 2020's health care policy.
Case in point: @vox just spotlighted AmericaRx — our plan for a public drug manufacturer that was designed to serve patients, not shareholders.
The FTC says it'll enforce surveillance pricing. But according to its own Chairman, not really.
That's not good enough, says @owenslindsay1.
"It shouldn’t be on consumers to navigate the fine print and sniff out if they’re being played. A disclosed price can still be an unfair
Homeownership rates – especially among young Americans – are falling.
The median cost to buy a home has soared to +$400,000 in just 6 years.
The entry-level market is more myth than fact.
We have a solution – harking back to the days when homes were affordable.
After we released our study finding that Instacart was charging different prices for the same goods from the same store at the same time, the FTC launched an investigation.
Now, it says this type of pricing might break the law.
But it's not enough: We need stronger regulation.
Parents across the country are calculating just how much they can afford to spend on school supplies, but the math isn't easy.
We found with @TCFdotorg that the cost of school supplies has risen nearly 8% since last year.
Students are going without, thanks to Trump's tariffs.
This piece pairs well with the WSJ article today on costs. Medicare for All is the path forward on coverage. But we need to rein in costs, increase supply, and crack down on profiteering. Good roundup on smart proposals being put forward, including @Groundwork's AmericaRx
A rideshare app charges you a higher price to go to the hospital because it has data indicating you are having a heart attack.
According to @AFergusonFTC, the problem is not admitting they’re charging you more because you might die, not that they’re doing it in the first place
