The UK government promises more power for regulators. They claim they will stop price gouging. This is just a performance. The money is already gone.

The cost of basic goods has already spiked. Corporations have already padded their margins. This new regulatory strength is a joke. It is a way to manage the decay.

The decay is visible.

• The rent is already too high.
• The grocery bills are already broken.
• The regulation is just a way to delay the panic.
• The corporations have already won.
