I’m not in a position to reply in full to your comment. But I did want to point out that I’m pretty sure that price gouging laws only restrict predatory price increases on essential goods during officially declared states of emergency. Otherwise there’s no restriction at all

I mean, maybe there’s something in the fine print I’m unaware of. But do you think this Instacart model turns off for a neighborhood hit by a hurricane or wildfire or flood?
I don’t see AGs offices zealously enforcing laws at even this scale, so its something of a moot point. If your DOJ is owned and operated by crooks, they won’t be going after their friends and co-conspirators anyway. And Instacart is fully in bed with the Silicon Valley crowd, which have been successfully paying off politicians left, right, and center since the Clinton Administration.
