The new Republican talking point.  It’s funny how my very Republican home state passed anti-price gouging legislation a few months ago — but I guess that’s OK for them, but not for Kamala.[/quote]

Almost all state anti-price gouging laws pertain to very high price hikes put in during a declared state of emergency and do not pertain at all to periods outside that. The idea is that, for example, a gas station should not be allowed to hike its prices three times when people are fleeing a hurricane and have no alternative options to fuel their cars.

That is very different from the ban on price gouging Harris is proposing that would apply in the absence of a declared state of emergency and in the presence of a multitude of options for lower price alternatives.

That said, there are economists who believe that even the anti-price gouging laws during states of emergency actually hinder the free market from coming in and greatly increasing the supply of food and fuel available to naturally decreasing prices. (Not sure though if there has been a real life test of this).[/quote]

Ok, so what is Kamala’s definition of price gouging? Why is she using an established legal term to define whatever she’s talking about?[/quote]

Jesus we can’t have an intelligent conversation until you realize it’s not price [i]gouging[/i] it’s price [i]gauging[/i].

Lord you people are stupid. [/quote]

WTF?  It's gouging.

https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/gouging

gouging
noun
UK  /ˈɡaʊ.dʒɪŋ/ US  /ˈɡaʊ.dʒɪŋ/
 
the action of charging someone too much money for something, in a way that is dishonest or unfair:

"The chairman of the Senate Banking Committee accused the banks of gouging."

Are you confused, trolling or just an idiot?[/quote]

I guess you didn’t see the clip of Kamala calling it price gauging. [/quote]

No, because you made it up.[/quote]

Idiotic.
It was obvious what she meant.  You've never misspoken in your life?  You're a liar if you say you haven't.  And have you not seen the incoherent cofvefe coming out of Trump?
Piss off, fool. [/quote]
