16. I remember similar happening
Sun Mar 16, 2025, 09:18 AM
Mar 2025

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.
