    I hope they fine all of them trillions and jail the top level people. They shouldn’t be allowed to get away with this BS. There’s been rampant price gouging, fixing, and collusion going on in this country for a long time now across industries and it sure would be nice if someone would do something to stop it.

      Me too, but the pessimist in me thinks that the fine will work out to a 0.1% cost of doing business tax. Then publicly pinkie promise that they’ll never do it again, while not stopping and showing no signs of stopping. 😓🙄😮‍💨

    Sweet. Now go after every property organization cartel that offers “market pricing” where the price of a unit changes on a day-to-day basis.

    We would publish a circular with a survey of local wages for the industries we serviced. It was funny how the wages on new job postings, even outside our region, would all fall to match. Almost like they weren’t competing for new hires, they were colluding and using our circular to do so. I always juiced the numbers and gave the employees a few thousand extra a year where I could, but there’s not much you can do.
