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 "loves 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."

The tweet garnered more than 7,200 retweets and 66,000 likes as of Sunday morning.
The tweet also garnered some pushback from people who pointed out that Norris is wealthy.
"Easy to say when you have a net worth of 5 mil" one person commented.
Norris' social media post comes as Americans are seeing record-high gas prices.
