Gouging or no gouging and whatever your opinion on the matter is be damned. Looks like things are getting pretty serious down there y'all stay safe.

Holy fuck you two live in a fantasy world. 
Okay. Let's break down this fantasy world. Let's keep it to generators to keep it simple. Generators are sold out locally. Guys buy generators from another state and drive them down to the disaster area. They charge 200% of regular market value. Other guys show up. (more generators) They offer to sell at 175% Without explicitly breaking it down, eventually the market re saturates itself with generators. Why? Because people want to make money. Then, maybe you have over saturation. Where generator guys were too late and will sell them at break even so they don't have 100 generators. Without profit motive, this doesn't happen. |

Again, just because it is profitable doesn't mean it is moral. Society uses laws like the one in effect to deal with those who can't be trusted to do what is right for society. Ultimately societies are set up to work for the good of the society and when a person shows that they aren't able to do such they run afoul of laws designed to curb that anti-social behavior and punishments like prison and even execution are used to deal with them. Arfcom has plenty of the 'libertarian' type who lack the ability to work together socially. These types of people are parasites who abuse the cohesion of broader society while taking advantage of society at every turn. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I love these threads. All of the people who think they are entitled to name their price for whatever they want to buy come out in droves. "Gouging" is just another term for raising prices to match demand and regulate inventory. If you're selling out of an item in a matter of hours, it's priced too low.

These types of people are parasites who abuse the cohesion of broader society while taking advantage of society at every turn. Keeping appearances with low prices on inevitably sold out goods is capitalism's version of virtue signaling. Utterly useless when people actually need something. I'll take the $6 gas that I can actually buy in a pinch thank you very much. |

Good for the Governor. Get over it libertarians. Why would you be a fan of that? I'm struggling to understand why you would view cheap prices on things you can't buy because it's sold out to be a good thing. If you can't but something at any price, what good is it to you? Or do I misunderstand and you actually live in a fantasy world where prices stay low during a disaster and supply manages to keep up anyway? |

A business should be able to charge whatever they want at anytime for THEIR merchandise. Arf is bipolar, they don't want government involvement but they do want government involvement

Quote HistoryTotally agree. The "gougers" (nice emotially loaded term) really do deserve a metal for actually helping people.

I personally am in the what ever the market will bear crowd.
The law allows for you to recoup whatever your costs and reasonable profits. So the guy who buys in another state and drives here gets to include the travel cost which will make the generators quite a bit more expensive. If I owned a gas station, I would pay my employees $30 per hour and charge $5 per gallon. |
