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.

It wasn’t a price cap. It was about gouging during natural disasters like hurricanes.

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.
