Next is house price gouging. It's simple for legal to bust house price gouging just look up that address being overpriced by its price listing (mls) before sellers new price - no ?

What a great world we live in where we have to make laws telling owners not to gouge consumers during a crisis . What the hell is wrong with us?

[jagerlionruiz]

Don't understand why we don't start enforcing more laws on gas prices. It is a commodity that everyone in public needs in this day in age.

Lol the fact that they are just now doing this is ridiculous

That comes to $6.81/gal. There are some remote places in the Sierras (CA) that O have paid over $9/gal.

It’s called free market. You regulate the price - hello deficit. How about reducing taxes to start with?

Just over a million barrels per day come from OPEC (Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries) nations, led by roughly 550, 000 barrels a day from Saudi Arabia. The U.S. also imports nearly 7.5 million barrels of crude oil per day from non-OPEC nations.
non-OPEC nations

These countries control their own pricing. There are price regulations in the U.S. that limit the price.
Know when your being fooled people
There is no price gouging taking place. This is just a democrat ploy to divert attention away from this administration’s poor energy policies

Gas stations should just stop selling gas if theyre going to be punished for it. Gas prices are high because Biden banned drilling, not because of price gouging.
