That's kind of funny. Outside of wartime controls, the history of price controls in the US consists of two events AFAIK:
Hepburn Act, 1906, sponsored by a Republican
Nixon-era price controls, Nixon's executive order in 1974 freezing wages and prices for 90 days

This is not a good move.

Republicans are clowns.

Most of them have been, the past couple years. There's data.

Please tell us about this data and where it is.

Why are you in favor of price gouging?

so then you are fine with companies offshoring jobs, right? Because that's capitalism. A government that tells companies what they can and cannot do, including offshoring jobs, is communist, right?

How will she go about it?

I’m so grateful that Harris is putting price gouging on the list of priorities. Yes, she’s starting with food. But price gouging is pervasive across goods and services since Covid / 2020. She’s starting with the most fundamental but this sends a warning shot. The expert prosecutor in action. Hopefully cars and over-the-counter medicines will be next.

She announced national protection for reproductive rights earlier. The John Lewis Voting Rights Act too.
