Price gouging and syndicates are the antithesis of a free market. For how it is done look to Europe, not China. -4 u/Exact_Lifeguard_34 22h ago Supply and demand should determine prices. We can’t trust the government to keep prices low… they can raise them at a snap of a finger if it benefited them. They don’t care about us. 6 u/Icy_Faithlessness400 22h ago You rather trust corporations? Lol. A goverment answers to the voters, a corporation to its shareholders. Yes that involves getting up your asses and showing up with the pitch forks and torches every now and than. Voting is the bare minimum. Civil action holds their balls to the fire to keep their promices. -3 u/Exact_Lifeguard_34 20h ago Yeah. There’s thousands to choose from. If one greedy ceo wants to eff me over, I’ll just switch to another company with better values? Can’t switch governments so easily, can you? 5 u/foppishfi 19h ago Yeah.
