    It's refreshing to hear this being said. The citizens need to hear this, understand it, otherwise the corporations will continue to impoverish everyone who isn't a shareholder.

      Like any price control you calculate the line of profit and set a reasonable percentage based on average market prices. It's not complicates and done routinely with many things.

      It’s called tyranny and is the enemy of a free market.

      @@hartyewh1 The Soviet Union's extensive price controls were part of a broader system of central planning, which eventually contributed to economic stagnation and decline. Similarly, in the 1970s, the U.S. experienced negative effects from price controls on gasoline, leading to shortages and long lines at gas stations. This guy is obviously an enemy of free markets, hence no friend of mine.

      Did OPEC’s response to US support of Israel not affect the gas prices? It was my understanding that that was what led to the gas shortages in the 70s

    Thats dumb, you only ensure the next crysis like that. High prices bring new investments on energy, increasing the production until prices drop again, and so on and on.
    Yeah, you will keep costs down for a while but will bring fewer $$ to build new energy infrastructure.
    Thinking there's no market cost on fixing prices is stupid. Those cost might be worth it in some context tho, but saying like we cannot allow prices to increase because of greed? thats plain ignorance
