minus-squareBlackbeard@lemmy.worldMlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9arrow-down9·6 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.

If all he needs is something to virtue signal about, then isn’t that exactly what he’s doing right now?
