Save it.
There’s price gouging laws in every state.
Going right to blaming it on leftist when you should actually be blaming it on the Texas Taliban.
Just calling out the political nonsense that’s infiltrated the open forum. Getting sickening.

Blaming it all on leftist just shows that you’re a political hack.
“if prices don’t go up there won’t be food or gas for anyone”
Please explain this stupid statementrollin coal Thanks this. -
These stupid gouging laws are rarely enforced and most likely only enforced via some political gamemanship somebody upset at a local business owner and getting back at them. When you don't raise the price of gas in an emergency or perceived emergency people hoard it for no good reason. Then the ambulance and fire truck won't have any. Or you won't be able to get any to take your loved one to the emergency room. You'll have Joe Sixpacks filling up 5 gallon jugs and hoarding it to resell at "gouging prices", a black market so to speak, because the legit business might get prosecuted for raising their prices.
Raising prices ensures supply and keeps hoarders from hoarding. Basic economics. -
Only lefties enforce stupid laws -
Back when the events of 9/11 occurred a few gas stations in Indiana were pulling a similar stunt. Sheriffs departments were sent in to shut them down. Some of the owners were even threatened with jail time!

But yes, toilet paper disappeared because prices were not raised. It's cheap and dumb people thought we were going to run out of it due to the longshoremen strike so they made a run on toilet paper and it disappeared. Had the stores raised the price temporarily substantially to "gouging levels" that wouldn't have happened. That's how the free market balances things out.drvrtech77 and Flat Earth Trucker Thank this.
