I have lived through natural disasters in Texas which has anti gouging laws and what you are saying is not true.

Dis right here.

If you want to decrease the amount of a commodity entering any given market, place price controls on said commodity.

You will decrease the number of vendors who are willing to supply product to that market.

Period.

There have never been, nor will there ever be any exceptions to this inviolable economic law whatsoever.

Even during natural disasters.
































Especially during natural disasters. (Which is when you need more suppliers of product, not less.)
