“These jerks drove 1300 miles to buy up everything. THIRTEEN HUNDRED MILES OVER A TWO STATE AREA!”

Wow. Someone read more than the headline. Well done.

Basically, they created an illegal monopoly by buying all available in a large area. These guys didn't source from manufacturers, that's why I finally decided to put them in the jerkoff bucket. I'm fine with producers raising prices when demand increases. That allows them to pay for overtime and increase capacity.

But these guys... they didn't provide anything of value except create an artificial scarcity. Imagine if they did this with baby formula. ugh
