Don’t be a jerk. Hope that doesn’t sound too condescending.
Please, be my guest: next time there is an unmitigated disaster in your area such as a 9/11 or a Sandy or a Harvey, please buy up all the necessary supplies, wildly inflate the prices, and go out and attempt to sell them. Then report back to us so we can hear how it all went down hunky-dory and how your customers agreed that “there was no such thing as price gouging” and that they were happy to buy a sip of water from you because it prevented breadlines...or something like that.
“Don’t be a jerk. Hope that doesn’t sound too condescending.”
Here is condescending for you: You are the jerk, and you don’t even realize it.
I’m nice enough to break it to you gently.
