because they usually call them criminals, which means they want a law against it, which means they want government action.

They praise anti-gouging laws, but when asked for specifics on their proposal to prevent 'gouging' but maintain supply, they clam up.

Anyway, it's easy to criticize. It just takes a computer and an internet connection, and the whole world will hear your whine.

But it doesn't do any good. It's just a waste of everyone's time. Demonizing a person who is taking risks and supplying goods people need isn't productive. It's a counter productive witch hunt.

Hell, I could respect them more if they offered or supported a government plan. But petty complaining and whining while offering nothing constructive is just childish.

It seems that in the past government has regulated profiteering, with some measure of success. Not that I'm proposing such a plan, but doesn't it seem cavalier to just discount the notion entirely, especially on the grounds that the free market will always work better?
