Every HVAC and plumber in town has been bought up by private equity. They collude on service prices and prices have skyrocketed in recent years. Absolutely horrid for the consumer but line go up so who cares amirite…

With a functioning government, price fixing and collusion would be investigated by the FTC or FBI, if I recall.
