Republicans I know: "Gas is too high and it's Bidens fault!"
Me: "Actually, 203 Republicans voted against a bill to stop predatory gas prices and 0 voted to support it."
Republicans I know: "Cause it's too expensive to enforce. We all know it's another govt law to hold over us."
Fucking idiots.
Not saying this bill was a price cap, but, price caps and other forms of price control don't exactly have a good record of working instead of creating scarcity, hoarding, and aftermarket sales.
They sometimes do those things except hoarding. It is 100% capitalism thing.
Grain hoarding happened in the USSR.
Oh yeah price cap. I'm sure that would've solved all our problems
It wasn't a price cap. It was about gouging during natural disasters like hurricanes.
It does in Europe
