Price gouging needs to happen and run its course. It’s the fastest way to get goods where they are needed.

Price controls (i.e. anti-price gouging laws) will only create more shortages and lengthen the period of suffering.

Ignorance is so sad. It’s also deadly.

You are spot on and I would suggest the author read some Sowell.

“Price gouging” prevents a single person from hoarding it all.
