I like it.
I know price gouging is against the law in Alabama during a state of emergency — hurricanes, etc. Why are Amazon sellers allowed price gouging during a national crisis? They have been absolutely horrible during the pandemic. Amazon and their sellers should be put on trial for it.
People in this state get heavily fined and go to jail for it if they do it. Amazon should have to play by the same rules.

Some cleaning and disinfecting supplies are at price gouging levels. So we agree there. But I’ve seen little price gouging elsewhere. A box of nails is still priced reasonably, etc, (At least as far as I can tell.)
It pains me to see small businesses slip away. But that was happening even before the pandemic. It was going to happen either way.
Price gouging is the free market at work. High prices make it worthwhile to quickly bring in needed items.
Price gouging needs to be shut down hard.
