I feel like we should be using the term "scalping" instead. It is much more accurate.
- pcthrowaway 5y agoThat's probably not an ideal solution given the history of that word.
- BitwiseFool 5y agoPerhaps, but scalping in the modern vernacular applies to people buying limited items and then price gouging because of scarcity. And, now that I think about it, "squatting" is also capable of carrying negative connotations when it comes to history in North America.
