During the Fukushima nuclear accident in Japan, Potassium Iodide tablets which normally sell for $10 were selling for $300 on Ebay. People in places like Kansas were buying them when there was no need. Once again, high prices ensured that only those who needed them most ought them. Why keep the price artificially low so that paranoid people who live nowhere near a nuclear plant can hoard them? That is insane.
