I understand economics and agree with it. I disagree with price gauging in a time of crisis. There’s a reason why there are laws against it.
The law of supply and demand states that the price will rise if the demand outstrips the supply. Price gouging laws subvert that law - and we have shortages as a result. You can’t logically state that you understand and agree with economics if you support legislation that denies this law of economics.
Those laws are based on emotion and ignorance. We all know the lack of intelligence amongst most legislators.
