In reply to the discussion: Egg prices drop as demand 'sharply' falls among inflation-weary customers unwilling to shell out [View all]BumRushDaShow
(165,138 posts)16. I remember similar happening
when the gas prices were skyrocketing and Democrats were running the show. The threat (and actual carrying out) of hearings/investigations resulted in a sudden drop in prices because "they industry was caught red-handed".
Since I see these news stories, I am optimistic that the dam of gouging is finally going to break but what it took to get there is a damn shame.

An example of the power and leverage of consumer dollars. Spending cut backs and spending boycotts work.

In this case, it was the "power and leverage" of the government threatening to investigate price gouging
