      Don’t forget that they ALSO raised prices. By much more than their costs temporarily rose to. And then never lowered them again.

      That isn’t the driver, it’s their cover story. The second there was a hint of any societal/logistics issue, corps slammed that price gouging gas pedal down to 1000mph and kept ot there. Now, every once and a while, when they “learned a lesson” speed goes down to 800 or so for a come weeks and then resumes at 1200 mph. They won’t stop until they are regulated by governments

          Yeah like nobody names the shareholders who sued UnitedHealthCare for temporarily approving more insurance demands after the CEO’s death. They were not happy to lose money and sued after ! WTF ! But someone made the decision to sue and others approved it who is THAT inhumane?

          some of us already do blame them. some of us want law breaking corporations to fine (on a small share level) and arrest (on larger levels) shareholders. do it once and this shit would stop. didnt china execute a capitalist who did some shit recently?
