These are clearly the good guys, and it's because you hate them.
Stores refuse to raise prices because customers will dislike them and it will harm them in the long run. People like this take the reputation hit (and are financially rewarded) for keeping the market liquid, which is a good thing!
Anti-gouging laws are the problem here, and there's no doubt about it. There's not a "real" shortage, non of the usual arguments even apply, it's mostly a short-term run which would be easily stopped if prices could just.
- charles_f 7y agoWow that's a borderline religious faith in the market. People are humans and some are not able to drop $80 in a bottle of freaking Purrel, which they need to protect themselves as much as to prevent spreading their germs. This is a public health issue, counting on market liquidity and total inflation to fix it probably isn't the right approach.
