Prices are high because we’re being gouged. Companies never lowered prices after supply chains were fixed and after the Biden Harris stunning economic recovery

Households in Ireland already subsidies electricity to industry including the huge US conglomerates https://www.thejournal.ie/energy-bill-increases-grid-upgrades-6751159-Jul2025/

Words to live by, from @pluralistic -

"Monopolists corrupt our political system, maim and impoverish workers, gouge their customers on enshittified, overpriced garbage. They are an existential threat to the survival of the human species."
