We must PEG (Permanently End Gouging) prices. Our capitalist marketplace encourages speculators to enrich themselves by manipulating prices of things we need to survive. Gentrifiers raise the rent to unaffordable levels, drug companies raise prices on life saving medication, utilities gleefully raise prices when disasters strike, etc. The government should intervene, lower & set prices (or price ranges) of basic necessities that we need to survive. Thus ensuring that they are affordable to all.
