Headline: House approves bill to combat gasoline ‘price gouging’ - May 19th, 2022
https://www.pbs.org/newshour/economy/house-approves-bill-to-combat-gasoline-price-gouging
A closely divided House approved legislation Thursday to crack down on alleged price gouging by oil companies and other energy producers as prices at the pump continue to soar.
A bill backed by House Democrats would give President Joe Biden authority to declare an energy emergency that would make it unlawful to increase gasoline and home energy fuel prices in an “excessive” or exploitative manner. The bill directs the Federal Trade Commission to punish companies that engage in price gouging.
“At a time when people across the country are feeling the pinch at the gas pump, Congress needs to be doing all it can to bring down costs for American families,″ said Rep. Kim Schrier, D-Wash., who co-sponsored the bill.
She called it “infuriating” that spikes in gas prices were “happening at the same time that gas and oil companies are making record profits and taking advantage of international crises to make a profit. This must stop.″
The measure was approved, 217-207. Republicans unanimously opposed the bill, along with four Democrats.

The lowest international coffee prices in a decade are leading many despairing farmers in Central and South America to abandon their farms, fueling fears of an industry crisis. “The volatility is destroying livelihoods,” said John Steel, chief executive of Cafédirect, one of the UK’s first coffee roasters to offer producers Fair Trade pricing which counts Peruvian coffee co-operatives as among its main suppliers. Mr Steel added that farmers were joining migration caravans while elsewhere younger generations were opting out of coffee production in many countries. “If you’re a parent and making a living from coffee, seeing the way [low prices] are impacting the market, it’s not what you want for [your children],” he said.
The Town House Motel in Chico has raised their price to $1000 a week. It Was HALF that BEFORE THE FIRE in Paradise. All the other Motels are SOLD OUT.
YELP REVIEWS SAY:
Shame on you for charging 1000 a week!! People have lost their homes! And you have the nerve to gouge them! Not to mention the pictures on Yelp show the motel as a disgusting place. The bed bugs and filth is disgusting. I feel so bad for the people that have no place else to go. I hope you get fined!!
You should be ashamed of yourself!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Price gouging fire victims at $1000 a week????
That is unacceptable!! Time to boycott this place!
Shame on you, scumbags!!!!!!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Don't even think about staying here. They have violated the law by price gouging the Camp Fire victims, by raising the rates over 2 times as much!!! This is illegal, and if it were not, it is absolutely reprehensible!!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So I see that they doubled the price of the hotel rooms during a emergency crisis with the campfire and are now charging $1000 a week
That's out rages price during an emergency I hope the DA does something about it

During the 1950s Americans went into a Mad Panic about Communists taking over the world. We built thousands of Nuclear Missiles and Fallout Shelters.
