Once they make that admission, I suspect their behavior would change accordingly. Or run the rather significant risk of justifiable federal legislation and/or even greater public revulsion than already exists today. Take your choice.

Your comments can reasonably be construed to tolerate [i] intentional price gouging, and [ii] willful misrepresentations falsely denying those marketplace actions. Instead of more Socratic questions, perhaps you can now enlighten us with a convincing exegesis of the substantive legal, ethical, economic and political philosophies that underlie your apparent positions. That should be informative. Thanks.
