A “State of Emergency” over inflated gas prices, prior to a hurricane in Texas? That’s odd.
It’s also odd that the governor is jumping at “anti-gouging” laws. What is gas to be worth when it is in limited supply? Let the market find its price.
If we were selling something on eBay, should we be forced to give it to the 15th highest bidder?
Yes, we should sell that glass of water to the dying, dehydrated man for whatever it’s worth.
Nothing wrong with that... nothing at all.
Why *should* we be forced to sell it at a price lower than what he’d pay.
Yep. I won’t drive somewhere if it’s for something I could hold off on or just walk if it’s as high as it is now, but if it’s truly important, like my mom or brother is in trouble, $50 gal isn’t too expensive.
