That's some bull sheet. Anyone who's happy about this is a commie.

I have yet to see anyone ever ask for that...
So if there is a storm in the gulf, and the gas stations just start charging $10 per gallon because they think there will be a shortage... You are fine with that?
What about food?
What I have found in my nearly half century on this ball of rock, is that most people are not consistent. They act one way when it benefits them, but then want the opposite when it doesn't.
Everyone acts in their best interests... So most people complain when a gas station starts charging triple per gallon, but then when they or their buddy makes a side living flipping guns and ammo at stupid prices... no issues with that.

100% fine with it. Charge 1000 per gallon., I don't care.
Government has no business telling a private property owner what price they can sell their private property at.
Except that they can. We have given them some latitude in those areas, by popular consent.
Think of all the people that were outraged when that snot nosed investor kid bought the patent to the Epipen and just quadrupled the price...
Trump is getting a lot of credit now, for helping bring down drug prices. Should he not have?
Capitalism is great, but it can be abused. Look at how an ever shrinking group of elites like Bezos, Gates and Zuckerberg are starting to control everything...
At least with a politician, you have a chance of voting them out of office.
It's one thing to distrust government. We all do. But it's foolish to take the stance that EVERYTHING they do is bad, and that EVERYTHING done in the market via capitalism is good. That's incredibly naive....

and that's commie bull****. Where does the Constitution grant the government the authority to regulate pricing on private property.
The people who were outraged don't understand free market capitalism and thought they were entitled to someone else's property at a price they could afford. That's communism.
It's either private property or it isn't.
100000% he should not have. He is exercising authority not granted to the government by the constitution.
They have built successful companies. Why would anyone have a problem with that? We all could do the same.
99% of the time, the government is the problem, not the solution. Even with CTD. The govt caused the panic in the first place which caused the higher prices.
