Sure, but that's because you can "squeeze" the price on people. You can't squeeze the price on something where there is no negotiation or haggling. If you can get your plumber to do the 400 job for 250, are you gonna say, nah, here man, take 500? Who would do that, only lonely people looking for some company.

Sure you can. In this case, that was done by pressuring Hochul and Trump to kill the thing.

Thankfully, it failed.
