In 1942 FDR signed an Emergency Price Control Bill. Govt did that when they put people’s lives & livelihood before corporate profits Our govt today lets people die rather than exert any control over Ins/Pharma and suffer hi gas prices rather than exert any control over Big Oil.

It has a lot to do with the direction the government has gone over the years. Eliminate competition only work with the big guys with all the money.

Just remember fellow @TheDemocrats - it's no longer safe to vote D up/down ballot. If you do you'll get people like @RepAOC who wants to shutdown American jobs and energy or @ManhattanDA who believes criminal should roam free. Know their policies or skip the line!

Manchin's fossil fuel donors are the ones causing inflation. Manchin keeps yelling SQUIRREL in hopes you won't notice the massive transfer of wealth from the pockets of average Americans in to the golden coffers of his billionaire friends.

Pssst… that bill is why healthcare is now tied to employment. Unintended consequences are real.
