Ah yes, the good old "if it only wasn't for those evil profit gouging companies" excuse. It's literally a get out of jail free card for anything and everything related to the economy. It's such a political issue that the ideologues will just eat it up and spread it on and not ask a single question. Food prices too high? It's the evil profiteering companies. Car prices too high? It's the evil profiteering companies. Home prices too high? It's evil profiteering companies. Utility prices too high? It's the evil profiteering companies.
It's the vast conspiracy across millions of companies, across every city, state, and economic center in the country, that have all decided to go evil at the same point in time and just maliciously raise prices in an evil ploy to make more money. Surely it's that and not, you know, industrial and economic decisions that were made had consequences.
