I remember Rush telling a story about Nixon’s price controls from the 70’s - he said he worked in a supermarket at the time and certain meat items were under price control but others were not - so the manager asked him to re-name all the price-controlled items to those that weren’t under price control dictats.

There are always “get-arounds” on these government mandates.

I was also working in a supermarket - a major Midwestern grocery chain. During the price controls suddenly there was no sugar on the shelves. Zero. None.

When the producers lose money on the product they produce, guess what? They STOP producing it.
