Conspiracies aside, as to corporate greed. Here in the sunny state of cali they are raising gas prices and blaming it on the poorly managed east coast pipeline. Total BS, we probably import <.001% of our crude from the east coast if any. Just greed!

And that can't be good for business at that place. Use some common sense, store owner, and limit purchases fro a while. Don't encourage selfishness like those two in he picture.
Government imposed purchase restrictions?
I believe the word for that is Socialism.......be very careful where and what you are asking the government to restrict in the name of an emergency. Weve already seen common sense go out the window with nanny state COVID restrictions.

So label me a dog. I'm okay with that.
I'll leave it alone after this as well. However, I would like to clarify that the "dog" label was not directed at you. The point was that if I see a dog acting like a dog, then that's normal behavior for a dog. But if I see a dog acting like a horse, that's when I would start wondering about the dog being subjected to outside influence.

Likewise...the nature of a corporation is to make a profit. So a media corporation sensationalizing a story to increase profits is acting true to its nature. No outside influence (from government or elsewhere) is needed to explain that behavior. In fact, I'd be concerned about outside influence if they acted otherwise.

I`m guessing there are small containers in those bins, you can see something in the one not being filled.

But it must be true, it`s a picture on the internet...

In most places, they actually get away with what they call "zone pricing" that allows them to ignore price fixing laws. That's been a sore spot in my area for decades. Maybe your area of CA is in the same "zone" as parts of Florida.

Absolutely brilliant.
As a Canadian, I can say we are double screwed by our resident green economy joke Trudeau. Michigan wants Line 5 shut down as it is 20yrs passed its expected life span, and years ago there was an attempt to build a pipeline through the western provinces to Ontario and Eastern Canada. Which Trudeau stopped, now when Line 5 goes so does half our gas in Ontario, on top of the reduced supply.
