Walmart has already raised prices on juice that I like to buy by ~40%

They are profeteering on the current situation.

They need to be cancelled.

When a box of sugar water (juice) goes up for no reason, people need to be accountable.

I have a solution, and its weird AI.

I cant explain it now, but imagine you had full transparency to your supply chain.

As a layman, this would be an information deluge that I would be utterly unqualified to evaluate... even _if_ I had the time required to examine the supply chains for the hundreds (or tens of thousands, depending on how you split out the BOMs) of separate things I purchase each month.

As a hypothetical exec at Wal-Mart, I almost certainly have the power to order potential suppliers to reveal more than enough information about _their_ supply chains to satisfy every bit of interest I possess.

I have an idea you can run with, but we need to have a discussion... while we are pausing AI on military 'applications' - economic opportunities exist in a way...

Look at those juicy sub 2% profit margins. I am sure the employees of tech companies on this forum earning 20%+ profit margins will be all ears.

2% on $612B a year is still 10 digits of profit. I think most companies would be happy making a billion a month in profit for a commodity, don't you?
