Gas Station (Houston) charging $20 bucks a gallon for gas... (enemies, politicians, leader)

Well looks tonight - Irma cat 4 is coming. Are you wanting to come to Florida and try to sell me gas at $20 after the storm ???

I see we've logged in several more pages of 'I know nothing about economics or that price gouging actually HELPS everyone during disasters, but I refuse to read anything about it to educate myself because I know it's BAD!'

Built all with components from LG and sold at a way higher price. Look it up and weep. Still not impressed...

What's the difference here?

Neither is ok, most people get angry at the ER or hospital bills they are given. Why we want single payer

I'd venture at least 50% are in favor of a single payer system

We comprehended what you said the first time, we just disagree with it. If you can't understand that it is you with the comprehension problems.

Where's your basic human decency?

Once again, cite one example of anyone who died in Harvey because of price controls.

It is not right for pitals or docs to charge 200 smackers for a box of tissue. I don't have Ins and i would let the pital eat the cost and never pay a dime if i don't think the charge is fair blare.

LG sucks. Only the panel was from LG. I have bought a new display every year since 1989. Paid $32k for a Runco 61" plasma in 2002.And at $2800 that was lower than a LG lee. Don't need to look up anything i have bought more A/V stuff than you can dream of.
