Ya know it’s really ironic, for many decades, this is the country that had no issues giving away hundreds of billions to other countries for whatever their freaking problems are/were.
Yet when people are beating like a drum, losing damn thing they ever had in America, it’s all about what the market dictates, what the market demands, and how much you can get....

For decades, the old Soviet Union maintained that the price of basic foodstuffs should not be above a certain level. Food is something that you need every day, natural disaster or not. And guess what? They always had shortages. Same principle is at work.
That being said: Best Buy is not the government or a charity and they are not under any obligation to sell water to anyone at any price. The fact that they would sell the water in packs at the same retail price as they would sell it per bottle is a convenience to those who may want to buy more than one bottle.
They didn't raise the price. They did not price gouge.
