Talk to the Republicans that keep blocking price gouging bills brought by Dems to address these types of issues that they don't want to fix so it gives Trump a talking point to campaign on. You all should be pissed about this, not just restaurants. This is the oligarchs flexing their muscles and unfettered capitalism that MAGA is fine with apparently. https://video.nostr.build/ed29b5f0c73ff6bb8f74799431b92d66cddfd66bd62de027e8cd1a18f6c2f757.mp4

Price gouging would not be possible in a true capitalist system.
The only way a business could price gouge is if they were a monopoly.
The only way monopolies can exist in this world is leveraging the fulcrum that the monopoly on violence (government) provides.
