General heads up, Zillow no longer list the climate risk data(Floods, Fires, etc) on a house you are looking to buy, because real estate agents said it was hurting sales. At minimum for insurance reasons, this is information you need to know if you're shopping.
@scttfrnks Pretty funny given that you are upset about policy that hasn’t even been announced. There are price gouging laws already in 47 states but somehow a federal version contains dumb stuff that you just made up in your own head
Trump: When we gave her the Presidential Medal of Freedom… It’s the equivalent of the Congressional Medal of Honor— it’s actually much better because everyone who gets the Congressional Medal, they’re soldiers. They’re either in very bad shape because they’ve been hit so many times by bullets or they’re dead. She gets it and she’s a healthy beautiful woman
@stevesi There are such laws on the books in 47 states. Patchwork of definitions makes it tough for compliance and enforcement. National law with federal enforcement is better for gov, business, and consumers. What am I missing?
@rao_hacker_one @stevesi Also, given that we are in one of the strongest economies in history (by many metrics) and pandemic inflation and unemployment was high at the beginning of this admin, and dropped faster than nearly all peer countries, it seems like a fairly absurd claim
@rao_hacker_one @stevesi On what basis are you making this claim? Price gouging does occur at times and do you have an issue with the regional laws that currently ban it?
@stevesi Price gouging is already illegal in some states. Seems sensible policy given we know it happened during the pandemic. The statement is explicit that this is just one of many initiatives to address high consumer prices. What am I missing?
