I think you need to grab the Biden administration by its ears and make sure they’re hearing this!

Isn't price fixing illegal? Maybe I have an overactive imagination, but there could be a more sinister motive as well. Corporations generally prefer Republicans in office because they basically allow them to do whatever they want. By drastically raising prices while Democrats are in power, they can turn the population against Democrats and elect Republicans, even without devious election machinations. I have wondered, likewise, whether Russia's Vladimir Putin has tried to influence our politics by manipulating the price of oil.

Your solution seems reasonable, but getting Congress to do anything that involves reducing corporate profits in any way is like pulling teeth. Too many members are bought and paid for by the wealthy.
