How does that relate to anything in this thread?
Price gouging profiteering in vital commodities (and the inherent trust that brings it, even if unstated) is tyrannical.
Whether it's gasoline or utilities or milk, or whatever the vital commodity may be, the government is just to step in, when actual oppression exists. Same with excessive profiteering in health care, BTW, in case you'd like to smoke that in your pipe. ;-`
Adam Smith just phoned me from heaven and he says he agrees. ;-`
