Price gouging…
- Thread starter Rustic
- Start date
it's not the federal govt, it is TEXAS State govt...I have a choice to pay for the water or whatever or not to, the whole transaction like said above is %100 voluntary.ok. Remember that when you run across that scenario.Price controls are an communist concept...You would be singing a different tune if you were trying to get your family to safety and wanted water for your kids but the only gas station between you and safety wanted 30 bucks a gallon for gas and 50 bucks for a jug of water.
Only a fool would want to live in an America where the federal government sets things like pricing…
they are Republican/conservatives not liberals or progressives and have been for decades...
thread fail.

See that's the problem with control freaks like yourself, mob rule. LolYou are the fool.I have a choice to pay for the water or whatever or not to, the whole transaction like said above is %100 voluntary.ok.

Iggie time. I do not waste my time with idiots.
no it isn't f'd up.... it is only for necessities, NECESSITIES, during a natural disaster, which makes perfect sense....The whole concept of the federal or state government dictating pricing by the private sector is fucked up…IT is Texas law that covers price gouging of necessities illegal during a disaster....not federal law.
you can't walk away and simply buy from someone else as you stated during a disaster like this....most vendors are not operating...this is WHY the crooked shop owners opened know they can gouge the customer and get away with it even if illegal when customers are in dire need for the necessities.

Wrong is wrong, it is wrong for any type of government to enforce price controls...it's not the federal govt, it is TEXAS State govt...I have a choice to pay for the water or whatever or not to, the whole transaction like said above is %100 voluntary.ok.

Na, The federal/state government has no morality on the matter… Their credibility is in the shit houseno it isn't f'd up.... it is only for necessities, NECESSITIES, during a natural disaster, which makes perfect sense....The whole concept of the federal or state government dictating pricing by the private sector is fucked up…IT is Texas law that covers price gouging of necessities illegal during a disaster....not federal law.

There's no doubt price gouging is wrong, but it is none of the federal governments business....Even the most ardent free market capitalists (assuming they are sane) do not support allowing market imbalances to create exploitative monopolistic situations.
They have more important things to worry about
So, let's just shame the offenders, right? Meanwhile, fuck that kid who needed water while his parents didn't have $40 to buy a pack. Fuck him. It's none of our business.

Why?Carpet baggers.
Anyone caught jacking up prices in the event of a catastrophe should be fined heavily and tossed in jail for a short stint. Then gouge them for their cell meal by making them work the latrines for a couple of days instead of getting the meals tax payers pay to feed inmates.
Just don't buy from them… LOL
LOL. And die of thirst! LOL!!

From a ideological standpoint price gouging should not be illegal. It's all about supply and demand.
From a human perspective...it's a fucked up and twisted thing to do.

Hey, why would you want to involve yourself in something that is none of your business. Maybe the business owner needs that money? While I don't believe in price gouging myself, I certainly don't want to dictate what someone else charges for services and goods.There's no doubt price gouging is wrong, but it is none of the federal governments business....Even the most ardent free market capitalists (assuming they are sane) do not support allowing market imbalances to create exploitative monopolistic situations.

Bingo!… We don't need to give any government that much power over personal choices.From a ideological standpoint price gouging should not be illegal. It's all about supply and demand.

lol, then looting should be legal.
Shooting looters is ... so feel free to try.
Sorry to bust your bubble. Shooting people solely for looting is not legal. You can't kill anybody ever solely for crimes against property.

Read it and weep ...
A castle doctrine, also known as a castle law or a defense of habitation law, is a legal doctrine that designates a person's abode or any legally occupied place – e.g., a vehicle or home – as a place in which that person has protections and immunities permitting one, in certain circumstances, to use force (up to and including deadly force) to defend oneself against an intruder, free from legal prosecution for the consequences of the force used.
Justifiable homicide[2] inside one's home is distinct, as a matter of law, from castle doctrine because the mere occurrence of trespassing—and occasionally a subjective requirement of fear—is sufficient to invoke the castle doctrine, the burden of proof of fact is much less challenging than that of justifying a homicide. With a mere justifiable homicide law, one generally must objectively prove to a trier of fact, beyond all reasonable doubt, the intent in the intruder's mind to commit violence or a felony.
Looting ... Burglary ... Trespass with the Intent to commit a felony ... is a felony and thus invokes Castle Doctrine in those civiilised states where the law applies.
