These companies are some of the lowest of the low... States need to reel these bastards in big time.

Absolutely! Another thing that ticks me off is overpricing of goods and services. I ran low on gas the other day in the middle of BF Texas, and had to pay $2.66 a gallon for gas! The bastards were preying on my helplessness and lack of planning! States need to regulate prices! The same with prices of milk and stuff at convenience stores, they need to be regulated! Just because they are CONVENIENT doesn't mean they have the right to charge a premium for it! And don't get me started about how much it costs to see a movie these days! I think that a movie should be capped at $5, the soft drinks at $1, and the popcorn at $2. Come on states, what good are you if you can't regulate prices??

I hope the /sarc isn't necessary here.

...and irony! We need to regulate irony. I'm sick and tired of idiots confusing paradox with irony!

Armydoc,

Sorry, for all your sarcasm it doesn't negate the issue. USARY laws exist and have existed for a reason and they are a good thing... States need to reign in these places... Sorry the "market solves everything without any oversight" is false and naive.
