So does Jealousy and Envy.

Not sure those apply. I'm not particularly jealous of the thieves who run the oil companies. I've got all I need, so I don't feel compelled to amass more at any cost. And I might be self-deluded, but I like to think I exhibit some morality in my business dealings.

On the other hand, continued price gouging like we've seen in the last couple of weeks is going to inevitably result in the government sticking its nose in. It's already happened in Hawaii, and there are rumblings of price caps in California. If California goes, expect others to follow. That's the consequence of unbridled greed.

Tyrants to the left of me, looters to the right ... Extremes giving rise to their opposite ...
