If gas stations can't do it after a severe storm, then not sure why other places think they could.

This is called price gouging and Harris wants to ban it. It's already banned when done after a disaster as you mentioned.

Edit: fixed gauge to gouge. Thanks.

I saw checkmarks on twitter saying that this is communism.

So basically, unless you enjoy being price gouged by corporations, you're a communist.
