7. I wonder if states with laws against gouging during

a crisis could put the brakes on this juggernaut. The oil companies aren't exactly suffering in the profit area. During the 93 flood, our state attorney really came out hard against businesses trying to profit. If it were a joint effort between states maybe that mechanism could be used to temper the market a bit.
