How can there not be price-gouging when corporations' profits are soaring and their prices are rising and they're not raising workers' wages? #Harris is promising to stop price-gouging and the #WashingtonPost editorial board is calling it a "gimmick?"
I don't get it. If voters are concerned about rising gas prices, and oil companies' profits are rising AND they're getting government subsidies, why shouldn't she try to control gouging? Same with pharmaceuticals.
