MSNBC reporting price gouging has already begun in Florida

[CatWoman]

some people charging as much as $2.80 for a gallon of gas.

1. There's a special circle of hell for people who do that.

[Book Lover]

2. Hell, for me, that's SOP

on edit: what is it usually?

[CatWoman]

10. I don't know

I'm in Georgia -- the price here is average $2.20

[tridim]

3. And their headline is.. wait for it. "Dennis the Menace"

:eyes:

[Allenberg]

4. Nice.

I hope these people get hit the hardest.

5. Proof of The Corruption That Results from Deregulation...

and monopolization, especially during the reign of the Republican Party.

9. It's oligopoly technically

Multiple companies are working in tandem to raise prices, while Chimpy and Co. pretends gas prices aren't even an issue.

6. Where do they think they are, California?

That's about what we're paying right now in northern CA. ;-)

7. I don't think it just has to do with Florida or a storm...

...here in Maple Valley (Washington state), gas shot up from $2.39 to $2.45 within a few hours of the London attacks. Profiteering will use any justification. :grr:

[CatWoman]

11. it's about the storm

their state attorney was on.

they have a website set up and a phone number to report abuse.

the storm is to hit tomorrow.

8. It's all about money...

As a 'society' or even in spirit, most people are neanderthal-era cavemen with bigger toys to protect.

When resources dwindle, I dare say most of the population would start scratching, punching, and shooting to get what they think they need... before someone else does the same to them.

Oh well.
