Maximizing long term profit is not anathema to property rights or capitalism.

This article is not about long term profit. It's about taking advantage of a desperate situation and gouging.

Capitalism in its purest form, like socialism in its purest form, do not take into account human nature.

I am talking about the theory and those who want to see it practiced as gospel. It's simply about numbers and does not include human nature in any of its calculations.

Well, that's your take on it, and you're entitled to your opinion.

And in my opinion, you're wrong.
