I think price gouging is illegal

That is basic supply and demand.

Price gouging is when the government raises tolls during rush hour.

I’m still looking for that sliding scale that determines when how much is too much.

I have something you want and you either agree or disagree with the price I’m asking for it. Nobody is putting a Gun to your Head unless we are living a Godfather Movie.

Now, if I am a Monopoly, that is a different situation. That’s why we have Laws prohibiting Monopolies. Well, we did until Big Tech started running things anyway.

Then again, I’m the kind of guy who thinks the Minimum Wage should be ZERO.

The Government should stick to what the Constitution says it should do, period.

Read Thomas Sowell’s chapter in Basic Economics about price increases during emergencies. It explains very clearly why price increases are necessary for allocation of scarce resources.

Ah yes the no gouging brigade. It’s so wonderful - Price gouging laws for gas end up translating to “no gas”.

What is “price gouging?”

When someone doesn’t charge a price set by the government?

The solution for you is simple; if you don’t want to pay the asking price, go somewhere else that has the price you believe the price should be?

Without “price gouging” you won’t find any to purchase anyway.
