This from a person who has failed to exibit evidence of a fundamental knowledge of economics or comprehend how products are priced in the real world.I am still waiting for you tell us what a fair price is and how do we establish at what price gouging begins.
>They can set their own price but that price must be reasonable . <
Define reasonable.
>However, we are talking about things that people need in an emergency situation (not all the time).<
Have you thought about the possibility that if the price for this scarce resource is to low one customer may buy the whole stock and add his profit on to it or decide to make sure he has a month's supply for himself?
Anyone who makes a post and then makes another post just to prove that they are right, is usually wrong.
Go to bed now. And don't forget to take your meds.
If you don't know what you are talking about call names and change the subject.
Talking to someone who always thinks they are right is pointless.
So goodbye.
It's not just inconvenience. Parents had to pay for their children to go to temporary daycare, extra gas to drive them further in some cases, etc. "Based on where Rita was heading he did the right thing?" That's a very chicken little answer.
Are you a closet democrat?
See??? That's the damn problem around here. A dissenting opinion does not make one a "closet democrat". I actually voted for Bush twice, worked on his campaign, voted for Gov. Sonny in GA, etc. Just because I don't blindly agree with everything they do does not make one the enemy.
We at FR need to be careful not to be an army that shoots our wounded.
We need to not be so sensitive either.
PS: Calling me chicken little was OK .
That's priceless....
I'm just one mean old coot.
Not sensitive - just name calling and insinuating that someone is a "closet democrat" or "DU Troll" is the kind of in-fighting that the dems want. That destroyed them in 2000 and 2004. Let's don't let it do the same thing to us. We can agree to disagree.
You fired the first volley.
