>An important point the article didn’t address is that high prices direct resources to more important uses. I think it's important to recognize in this case that "important" is being passed off as the same as "ability to pay." >Outlawing price gauging alone just ensures masks go to people who don’t need them as much as doctors. Price ceilings don’t force masks to go to doctors. This is such a non-sequitur, it almost feels disingenuous. If you remove controls, you're just going to guarantee that the masks go to the people with the highest ability to pay. And that may or may not be doctors and medical personal. In fact, I don't see any evidence anywhere that it would actually lead to more medical personal actually getting these supplies at all.
