They can write the legislation but it has to pass both House and Senate and then (foregone conclusion) be signed by Ol’ Mushbrains. But...Sheila has delusions of godhood...so she probably has no clue how the process works.

“Repeal the law of supply and demand!”
******************************************

Leftist credit the law of supply and demand when prices are low but claim “price fixing” when prices are high. That never ceases to amaze me.

Hair hatted hooligans don’t realize how people laugh at their ridiculous ‘wanna white woman’ look. Very bitter, low iq.

“Here comes rationing!”

My first thought was how long before long lines at gas stations.

And of course Biden et al will start saying if all had electric cars there would be no problem all.
