I'd prefer that the seller just get their ass kicked and left bloody by the roadside, but there's probably no legal precedent for that. I fully support the TP companies raising prices to cover overtime, to cover the reallocation of resources to ramp up production, and revenue losses for other products that have to be ramped down to increase TP production. That is all reasonable. The douchebag with a Ryder truck full of TP at $35.00 a roll can go **** a broken brick. |

I support a law that standardizes listing prices of vehicles. You know very well that dealerships try to mislead in their listing. Sure, not all of them do but many do.. Listing a price with discounts that most can't get is misleading customers. Listing the price of a car but omitting that the car has had dealer add ons done that add thousands to the cost is another example. Some dealers list cars and the price listed does not include dealer add ons.. Then you show up, the same car is thousands of $ more for cheap items that the dealer added at a huge mark up. It is 100% clear that those tactics are meant to mislead customers to get them into the door so that their sales game can bamboozle them into buying something that they don't want or need. Just because most people are stupid and ignorant still doesn't make it right to take advantage of that and mislead them.

Again, all that was done to get people into the door so that they can use their sleazy sales game on them. Unfortunately, too many people get bamboozled by sales people. |

Those add on’s are negotiable. And everyone knows it. Many are happy to pay for pinstripes and fabric protection. If those add on’s are something that you don’t want you can negotiate or move on to another vehicle/dealership. |

So if you had the only available rental home in your area and there were a dozen people who wanted it including some who would willingly pay more than you expected, you would not make the market adjustment and lease for the higher amount?

They can add all the conditional discounts in the description instead of the other way around? That's not anti free market. That's protecting customers from being misled. Example: Total vehicle price before sales tax: $49000 (this is the number that should be required to come up in any autotrader/cars.com etc. etc. search Break down: Vehicle price: $47000 Dealer add ons: $1500 Dealer Fee: $1000 Destination charge: $1500 Less Discount applicable to all: $2000 manufacturer rebate Available conditional discounts: $7500 EV Tax credit (for individuals making under $150k or couples making under $300k) $2000 trade in credit (if you trade in a car worth more than $5000) $1000 financing discount (if you finance with us, you will get $1000 off the price) $1000 dealer discount for First Responders (you most be currently employed as first responder (fire fighter, police, ambulance) $500 student discount. You have to be currently enrolled in college |

Government should protect customers. That's not an interference in a free market. That's protecting customers from being MISLED!

You are 100% free to tell him to **** a broken brick. I would too. But somebody isn't.
Locking people down and telling them to not go to work is what created the TP crisis. The hoarders were reacting to it. And since the strawmen are coming out to play, yes, your hunger level should be a consideration in what you are willing to pay for food (but you are under no obligation to disclose). You and GSC3 want mommy to protect you from the bad man. |

OK. What's the penalty for someone posting a "misleading" advertisement? "Misleading" of course being something that clearly spells out exactly what is happening but is somehow beyond your crayon and construction paper comprehension level. |
