Price gouging happens when supply is short.  Because if you had other options, there’d be competition.  It’s all the same.

OMG are you that dense? Have you ever seen a supply/demand curve?

And clearly nothing to do with supply chain disruptions due to incompetent leadership.

True....but in MA these are basically as common and bland as Corollas... so boring!

So all the folks that ‘chip’ their ICE cars are doing hard work?

Correct.  Who TF wants a Tesla?  POS product from POS CEO.

All Trump-caused. Just like the last bout of inflation.

Lazy.

Kidding? They just want the poors to (be forced to) drive them.

So they’ll go out of business.  

Imagine a 30 year old Explorer getting T-boned by a 2022 Silverado.

“all things stateside- meaning eventual shit quality due to no competition”

Because he’d rather further wage the culture war and attack trans people.

1st & 2nd: Bring on the higher prices.

Absolutely correct. This is a policy failure.

Not shocking.

It DOES actually solve the problem of congestion. And it is NOT a regressive tax. The poorest of the poor don’t have cars and aren’t driving into Manhattan. They are taking public transit.

That’s always the NIMBY response. Build it over there first. Knowing damn well that won’t happen.

I love seeing the ads for Middlesex, NJ on television here in Middlesex (county) MA.  They’re trying so hard to entice our companies to move there.  It’s pathetic.

Being stuck in their shitty Sentra for 2 hours is worse than 1 hour. So they too benefit greatly from reduced congestion if they CHOOSE to drive.
