They might bring in more blankets IF they were able to and if someone was able to then no one would be asking $300 since there would be way to get it.

I would ask if someone feels they can ask $10 for a box of matches with a reasonable possibility of receiving it there is not truck loads of matches on the way to sell at this price.

“Instead, with “anti-gouging” laws, no one is incentivized to bring in blankets and there will be no more blankets available.”

Somehow blankets were available pre-disaster in quantity.

A $10 box of matches is only available to the person with $10.

I am at the point where I say “Screw the a-holes in the blue states”. These fools told us how great the Kenyan was when he stopped in for a photo op and now they want to bitch?? F-them!

If an entrepreneur were allowed to make a profit, he’d find a way to get blankets there. Doesn’t make sense to make an extraordinary effort and lose money to get a product into the area.
