  Wow you mean the people who used their power to artificially inflate the cost of essential goods and services while claiming it was a “supply chain issues” came out on top? You mean that once again the working class was forced to pick up the slack as the lazy 1% got richer off their backs?

  If companies collude and price fix, that will always be a “giant gold mine”. But it’s an unethical gold mine, and a good example of why more regulation is needed in a lot of places.

  Covid was just an excuse to price gouge. Because it worked so well you can expect more shit like this in your lifetime.

  You know what they say. Never let a good disaster go to waste.

  They will drum up more human suffering as long as it pays for their yachts.
