He wasn’t sentenced for anti-social behavior. He was sentenced for teen burglary. Do you support life sentences for every juvenile petty thief who burglarizes a few times before getting caught?
My “theories” are conservative and common sense. Yours sure aren’t the second and therefore aren’t the first, if you believe as you seem to.
Re price gouging - You aren’t seriously comparing preventing store owners artificially inflating prices during a storm (which no decent store owner does) to a maximum wage; are you?
I can understand the case against price gouging laws, but to compare that to wage control is outrageous.
Your theories are social engineering, plain and simple. You may believe that to be conservative and common sense, but your beliefs are not grounded in reality.
With regard to price gouging and wage controls - please reveal to us all the difference between a wage control and price controls from the perspective of the store owner. Huck and you believe that a store owner, who has prepared themselves for an emergency by stocking up on those things that will be necessary, should be prevented from profiting from their foresight.
In other words - the government should control the amount of money the store owner can make.
Logic apparently isn’t your strong suit, FRiend. (Neither is psychology)
