Good point. When gouging is outlawed, only outlaws will gouge. That means the people you will have to hire to dig yourself out of the mess are going to be seedy looking goons with tattoos.
There is no way that decent people are going to travel to Florida to do business helping people out if the law has a chip on its shoulder and the long knives drawn.
The decent people are already here. They're in the disaster response ministry teams which I already mentioned.
