That's exactly what communists do. They enact price controls. The businesses cut and cut until quantity and quality both dwindle. The business tries to shut down. Government forces them to stay open. All incentive to provide quality service disappears. Business and the industry it supports collapses. Ruined business owner mysteriously disappears. Government nationalizes and takes it over. Remaining entities are staffed by corrupt up and coming party members. People starve.

Americans used to be against that.
