Who cares if a diabetic needs a generator for insulin because his old one broke down after the storm. He might have to pay 3 times retail cost for it! If, in fact, he has a confiscation-liable wad of cash handy. (And anyhow, a bag of ice wrapped in a blanket should suffice; a generator is way overkill.) Generally when there are humongous disasters like this, you will see a rush of supplies sent in FREE by various companies and agencies.

come on, you can reply to my other comments, and to other people, but when I ask you to show your economic genius and provide us all with a fool proof anti-gouging law, you suddently clam up.
Why is that?

You seem to hide behind the word "generally".
That's not helpful to your argument.

And how did all those companies and agencies get those supplies? Did they perhaps pay for them at some point?
Btw, did you donate to hurricane relief? If so, why? Was it perhaps because you knew the relief fund needed to buy those "free" supplies?
