Actor Dean Norris criticized people who are complaining about soaring gas prices across the United States.

The "Breaking Bad" star said current gas prices are "fair market" and urged anyone who "love[s] Capitalism" to "stfu," an acronym for shut the f--- up.

"You're not getting 'robbed' at the pump," Norris wrote in a tweet on Wednesday. "You’re paying fair market price for a commodity. If you love Capitalism so much then stfu."

You can both love capitalism and understand that there are manipulatable externalities affecting the price of gas.

At least half of the current rise in gas prices is due to NOT letting markets do their thing

Yeah it's not a true free market. Global governments, including our own, manipulate the price of energy

Socialist nubs proclaiming things about the price of goods in a market that is explicitly not free is rich

Government saying we want everyone in electric cars by a certain time is not capitalism.
