If things are getting more expensive, make raising prices illegal! Look what it’s dome for school shootings!
Funny. Most authoritarian regimes that have come to power over the last 150 years have instituted price controls at some point. Strange how history rhymes.
How Nixonian.
Interesting that we never had these problems under President Trump.
we gonna have price controls again. Like the 1970’s. Jimmy Carter has returned.
Taxation however is never unfair or illegal right Brandon?
We tried this in 1972............
In the real world, it would theoretically not be difficult to defend. Here is my supplier/vendor price, and here is my sell price, and here are my margins. Same margins I’ve always had.
However, when you are dealing with a government task-force, or government czar, or even just with bureaucrats, the only right answer would be proving that you lost money on all of your translations (which of course would never happen because you wouldn’t stay in business). If they found one transaction showing a profit, then it’s off to the gulags!
Nixon started price controls to solve this.
Gerald Ford had buttons and led people in chants “Whip Inflation Now.”
September 6, 1974 he said to the nation “inflation is the cruelest kind of taxation without representation.”

Modern Republican print money and boil some segment of the economy.
Democrats/Communists print money and institute price controls.
Punish the achievers. The Rats mantra.
The deepers behind the curtain tell byedone to launch a task force.
Byerdone can’t think, let-alone launch!
Typical Democrat, run up prices by doubling the price of energy and blame the repercussions on “evil greedy “ businesses.
How can people buy that crap. I know, they are morons.
What is “unfair and illegal pricing”? Other than collusion, I cannot imagine what this dufus is thinking.
Biden doing ANYTHING will make it worse..as per the plan.
LOL.
Government creates a problem. Then creates a program and a bureaucracy to pretend to make the problem better and to generate PR that someone else is to blame for the problem.
That creates new problems. So government creates a new program and a new bureaucracy . . .
And here we are today.
First inflate the currency to finance an orgy of mass murder, then create shortages by prohibiting “predatory” pricing.
BiXiden needs to investigate the CCP, his crime family,
Treasury, Congress and the Fed.
At a minimum.
Put in price controls, get shortages.
