that sounds a whole lot like collusion and price fixing…

When businesses illegally agree to fix prices, it's called price fixing. This practice involves competitors coordinating their prices to artificially inflate them, often resulting in higher costs for consumers. Price fixing is a form of collusion and is illegal under antitrust laws. Here's a more detailed explanation: Collusion: Price fixing is a type of collusion, which is an agreement or secret cooperation between two or more parties to deceive, cheat, or defraud others. Price Fixing: This involves competitors agreeing to set prices at a specific level, rather than allowing market forces to determine prices.

Price fixing use to be a crime, unfortunately now it’s a business model.

not really. i understand that price gouging is usually when one or more businesses raise prices on basic goods, common necessities, and/or recovery items after a disaster or suddenly in response to scarcity or perceived scarcity.

I've said it before and I'll say it again...you can never trust the private sector to do the right thing.
