Frankly, I don't care how stores regulate qty. That's their right.

What I am advocating here is for everybody to be able to buy goods. What you advocate is to prohibit everyone from buying anything at gunpoint.

My way is non-violent and benefits everyone. Your way is violent and immoral and hurts everybody.

Yuge difference!

I lived through a communist/socialist country - price control was our specialty.

Please name one case when price control didn't result in scarcity. You can't.
People don't want to pay absurdly high prices for stuff, but during emergency situations, people might not have a choice, and that is preying on the weak as I see it. There is nothing moral about charging prices that people can't pay. You act like everyone just has money flowing out of their a$$#0/es that they can pay these higher prices no problem. Reality is that people can't pay the high prices, so it creates an artificial scarcity in pricing goods ABOVE what the market will bare.

I was not being sarcastic. I just pointed out the elephant.

Is it OK to profit from death and suffering?

Just trying to understand:

1. It is OK for hospitals and doctors to take advantage of our emergency situation and charge us an obscene amount of money. Often we aren't even told how much money they charge - they just bill us whatever later.

2. It is NOT OK for a gas station charges $20/gallon in an emergency situation.

What's the difference here?
