“The price gouging law makes it unlawful to charge a price that is grossly in excess of the price charged prior to the emergency.”
I notice that brain dead liberal law makers make laws with wording like this. What happens if a business in that state buys a product from another place and the price has gone up for that business to purchase a product. This could be due to price gouging, but it could also be due to a shortage of ingredients driving the price of the final product up.
Now does this mean that if say Wal-mart has to pay 50% more to stock the product then they can only charge 10% more than they were before. Which means that Walmart would now have to pay the customer to take its product. They would have to take a huge loss. Then if I were Wal-mart then I would not order any more product and it would never be in stock.
So because the law is written this way then it insures that a product may become unavailable at any price.
The price that a business pays to stock the product must be taken into account. But Socialist’s can’t understand that.

Same ‘crowd’ will demand YOU pay ‘30 bucks min wage’ then gripe when the price of a hamburger or coke goes up a dime.
They also want to ban ALL trucks from the highways then scratch their gonads and wonder why there are no products in the stores. (Don’t tell them that EVERYTHING is NOT stocked in the ‘back room’)
Where were these complainers when the price of AR’s went through the roof when it appeared as though Hillary would become the next President?
