Irma: price gauging OR market price setting
« on: September 09, 2017, 03:04:18 PM »
I'm pro-"gouging" because I believe in market economies making everyone better off.  $60 for a case of water, I'm on board with that.  5 bucks for a gallon of gas, bring in more tankers while I fill up.

Persuade me why I am thinking about this incorrectly.

I just can't understand why the Attorney General of Florida has a freaking hotline for gaugers, except for political reasons.

Supply and demand "what the market will bear" pricing is always a good thing.   
Unfortunatly it makes it harder on the poor people.  Good conservative thought.

All political reasons. The market should set the price.

Supply & demand.
A great excuse to rob hard working people of thier $.

It would be different if the refineries were offline for a day or two but as soon as gas station owners hear that the refineries MIGHT be affected, the fuel prices shoot up.
Have you ever hear of prices dropping when the refineries are back running again?
Didn't think so.
