>If people stopped buying scalped tickets, scalpers would be out of business.
That's true, but it doesn't mean that the industry is ethical.
>We're not talking about a product that's of life and death scale importance.
Irrelevant. Why does the vitality of the product matter? Somebody wants it; I can't see why gouging is only an issue when it's basic utilities. You probably have to get into a whole issue on what qualifies as 'need'.
>price gouged customers after Sandy Hook but nothing they did should be illegal.
Sure.
- LordKano 10y agoThat's true, but it doesn't mean that the industry is ethical. It doesn't mean that it's unethical either. Irrelevant. Why does the vitality of the product matter? We have the word "Luxury" for a reason. Items that are not vital for survival are optional. You don't have to face death as the alternative to acquisition of such items. Somebody wants it Irrelevant. The person who has it gets to decide what they want in order to part with it. No matter how much I may want a 72 Camaro, unless I am able and willing to give up enough money, I'll never get one.
