Allegedly. Anyone that ignores the economic factors just has their head up their own ass

Because any time you say "supply and demand" on this subreddit certain people's heads explode. Yet they have no problem understanding it when it comes to food or car production. No one in their right mind would argue to stop the production of new cars to bring down car prices.

Collusion is bad, and also supply and demand is real.

So you're saying the collusion has finally become an issue Mr. Powell?

It should certainly be investigated and action taken against them, how much it would help remains to be seen.
