It's not price gouging. Learn economics.

Man. It's really sad. Try DU for your government control fix.

I'm comforted by your ideas. I'm going to raise my prices too. Oh, there will be a fallout but what the hell?

BTW, I studied Austrian economics. Dream world of graphs that always proved one's point. Funny how that works in the classroom but don't pan out in the real world. Academics has a way of creating fiction in one prone to navel gazing.

I live in the real world not in Boortzland. Why not make the gas prices $10 until the market equalizes. Oh sure, we'll have an immediate collapse of the economy but long term...we'll be true to Henry Hazlitt.

Why not place a surcharge on all the products in all the stores because NOLA and Mobile are closed? Let's be true to Sennholz and worship at the altar of Von Mises. I'm ready for the chaos. How about you? Your theories are truly small comfort on the sudden quiet roads of Anytown, America.

Oh and I like the DU comment Bunny, nice touch.

What is sad is that after 35 years of Liberalism blocking new oil drilling, new refineries, etc. we are now in the position that one refinery location can cause a supply crisis in a matter of days.

No margin for error. Liberals don't want to or know how to fix the supply and demand needs for a growing economy that will continue to grow and the problem will only get worse.

Instead they scream about price gouging, instituting price freezes at the pumps, and driving electric cars.

As bad as it may seem, I hope this is the straw that breaks the camels back and we get these necessities moving again and we can finally tell the tree huggers and all the other environmental wacko's to suck eggs!

We have so much to fix in the future that has been created by the left and we must start today because we have a lot of work to do.
