Re: 14 US states have approved stimulus checks
It's staggering how even governments these days don't know how inflation works. Or, more likely, they know, but don't care, because it'll win them votes. People are stupid and will no doubt not realize that handing out money drives inflation.
As per usual, the government seeks only power, and doesn't care about fixing the problem. Problems are good, because they breed dependency and people can be made to believe the politicians will save them.

Elizabeth Warren is going to fix the problem with the Price Gouging Prevention Act.
The Price Gouging Prevention Act specifically would:
Prohibit price gouging at the federal level. The proposed bill would allow the FTC and state attorneys general to enforce a new standard against sellers charging an unconscionably excessive price during periods of exceptional market shock. The bill clarifies that price gouging is illegal wherever it occurs in a supply chain or distribution network.
Create an affirmative defense for small businesses acting in good faith. Local businesses often must raise prices during crisis events because they have little negotiating power with their price-gouging suppliers. This affirmative defense protects small businesses earning less than $100 million from frivolous litigation if they show legitimate cost increases.
Target dominant companies that have exploited the pandemic to boost profits. The bill would create a rebuttable presumption of price gouging against firms that exercise unfair leverage and companies that brag about increasing prices during periods of inflation.
Require public companies to clearly disclose costs and pricing strategies. During periods of exceptional market shock, the bill requires public companies to transparently disclose and explain changes in their cost of goods sold, gross margins, and pricing strategies in their quarterly SEC filings.
Provide additional funding to the FTC. The bill appropriates $1 billion in funding to the FTC to carry out its work.
