And if your “some” is less than you need, and you are willing to pay much more to get more, what then? Wait for someone else to buy theirs then offer them more? wait, you didn’t like others doing that.
Rich people don’t get/stay rich by buying up far more than they need at high prices just to dump most if it unused or sell at low prices. Your “Soros” argument is stupid.
And sellers don’t jack prices way up just so nobody can afford them. If it doesn’t sell at a price, the price gets lowered.
Supply-and-demand ALWAYS functions. If you screw with it, you get unintended consequences.
Socialism sucks. I suggest you figure that out fast.
When most of us think of price gouging we think of situations where there is no market, no resupply, that the emergency has happened and if you can’t buy some medicine or water, then the person dies, I grew up in hurricane country in a time long ago and remember real emergencies.
Some conservatives seem to turn off their minds and conservatism when it comes to money, to them God turns away and can’t see when they are at work.
Even in regards to some of these ammo prices that are clearly excessive gouging, I hope that no one here is buying from those sleazy businesses and are keeping track of their names so that they never get another dollar from decent people again.
