Harris unveiled her economic plans last week, including the proposed ban, which would give the Federal Trade Commission the ability to investigate companies that increase their prices during periods of higher inflation.

“This could be another tool in toolbox,” Warren said of the proposal, before Kernen interrupted.

Price gouging is only OK when government does it by raising taxes.

“weird” was the word of the week three weeks ago.
Last week it was “joy.”
This week it is “gauging.”
