Mega companies for years have increased prices during democratic party times to make less educated citizens and idiot gop have an excuse to vote red. This is a common trap people follow cause of fox news and propaganda that they intake. We need to stand up and keep voting blue. They will learn quickly once enough blue is held. These corporations will lose control and back down from predatory actions.
If you feel that a general price increase of goods are not abnormally affected by this, let me know.

That was the initial reason prices went up. Gas companies decided to keep it that way to increase their profits. Do try to keep up.

That was excuse they made to deflect and then kept raising when Biden reduced tax on oil to bring down price.

We finally dropping "Putin's price hike"?

That was gas companies excuse. They would of found another reason regardless. Just look at history. They do it every time.
