> 'proper capitalism'

Price-gouging is absolutely acceptable capitalism, we only call it 'gouging' because being a greedy asshole doesn't align too well with the moral compasses of most of society. Which is why government 'interference' is a thing in the first place, because otherwise capitalism doesn't give a shit about morals or correctness or acceptableness or anything that isn't capital.

It there's any interference it's so much more likely that it's corporate money interfering with the government.

Oh, raising prices is absolutely 'proper capitalism'.

I was objecting to complaining about raising prices as not being proper capitalism.

If only! I'd rather have Warren Buffett or Bill Gates or Jeff Bezos etc have more say over what the government is doing than the status quo.
