(3,389 posts)How about if they send someone to study the books and find out what the profit margin is, then make sure the prices are brought down accordingly.

(45,433 posts)I don't want to sound as if I am defending these companies because I'm not. They lost revenue in 2020 and are trying to recoup those profits now for shareholders who stuck it out this long. They don't care if idiots blame Biden for it.
