serves him right

Thought the same thing. Really disgusted me that he went through all the rural communities cleaning them out.

degenerate

Who did not have a dozen bottles of cleaners under their sinks before this thing started?

Price gouging rule became law in most places in January 2019 to preserve order during an emergency, ie; charging a $150.00 for a sheet of plywood before a hurricane is a no no and reasonably so.
Here's some fun food for thought, literally... I can't bring food or beverage into a movie theater but I can pay $5 for a $1 candy bar. I guess it's acceptable in some areas.

Back when the tornados hit middle Tenn they were asking for supplies donations mostly cleaning supplies. imagine how hard it is for them now.

Try reporting the movie theater candy bar to DATCP and see what they say. The markup on popcorn has to be huge.

I don't get it. While I see how people get angry in a time like this, isn't this capitalism? Do know how much mark up is on that brand new $60, 000 dollar pick up truck you just bought and didn't think twice about. The mark up on the name brand clothes you buy your children for social status? (YOU JUST GOT RIPPED OFF by the way) but that's ok because a company sells it and not the little guy?...... If people just bought what they needed and not panic, the shelves would always be full. People are dumb and this guy took advantage of it. He's not the first. I think it's worse that companies like EBAY and Amazon can make a profit but won't let this guy. How is it fair they can control the little guy and pull his account because he was making a profit?

Big business has been ripping us off for years the rich get richer and poor get poorer. As far as the guy hoarding hand sanitizer how about all the folks plenty on this site that hoard ammo and guns. Im sure that a lot of politicians know ahead of us what is about to come and profit off that buying stock and commodities.

It all depends if you are the sell or the buyer.

Wal mart or any other Retailer buys as low as possible and sells as high as the market bears

Retailers aren't providers .....they do the same

Exactly

I found the picture of him kissing his wife, while holding their baby in the backyard strangely off putting. Who puts a recliner/office chair in the back yard for a staged photo op to elicit sympathy? I feel odd that I dislike them more for that photo rather than the opportunistic profiteering.

I wouldn't call it capitalism so much as contributing to a panic. I would not go as far to say it's illegal, I would say it's immoral. I glad the guy is stuck with the hand sanitizer. Profiting on peoples fear is not a very good moral stance. It is something people should be ashamed of. He is not a victim, yet he is playing one. He will be able to sell off his stock at a reasonable price. Perhaps even for a small profit. He won't lose money in the long run.

All kinds of thinking out there, if bought ammo cheaper before when it was everywhere and stored it properly or buy it during a crisis your a hoarder if you keep missing the opportunity everyone else is a hoarder then. LOL

Bezos didn't amass 106bil by running a bargain basement.

Correct he took the risks he reaped the rewards that’s how it works.

The differance is your life and property are not in danger if you dont go to the movies. You have a choice not to go to the movies if you don't like the prices. See if that works at your next major weather event....choose not to participate. I know your qustion was in joking, but must have some underlying bad thoughts. Taking that a bit farther. Some people think I should remove beavers from their property for free. I make my living doing that. I charge high prices because I can. I have competition so there is a choice..... Am I price gouging? I finish the job and provide a guarantee. My competition doesn't.
