Can you please clarify by what you mean “will get sorted out”?

We’ll have to wait a bit and see.

They will be given a choice, forgive the big bills or get beat hard with the regulatory stick.

And it bears repeating that for the Griddy customers who received those whopping bills- payment has been made already, through their credit cards. So they are out all that money until (if and when) the problem is solved.

Do you figure he should be out plowing roads, thawing windmills or sweeping snow off solar panels?
What should he do that the governor of Texas isn’t doing?

AOC raised a million dollars for TX.

Yeah, that’s how the “free market” used to work before everything became worth “whatever somebody is willing to pay.”

Not entirely, the people who got charged also have the right to sue them for the amount they were overcharged and up to triple that in damages.

Its not price gouging if they are charging with in the amount set by law…

If there was a texas law saying you cant charge more than $10 for a mask and they charge $10 for a mask you cant accuse them of price gouging…

Privatize the profits, socialize the risks/losses.

Well that is your assertion yes, I see no evidence you are correct. There are no exceptions written into the price gouging law.
