That doesn't address the added expense incurred to get supplies and items into a disaster zone.
Is it cheaper to get water to a normal city or a city devastated by a hurricane?

The fact that we live in a world where some of you worry more about how much it costs a multi-trillion dollar industry to move into a disaster area than how much it costs thousands of people - who just lost their homes - is very troubling.

There's no problem getting anything anywhere in Houston other than flooded neighborhoods, which no longer have customers. The issue is so temporary that market forces don't even have time to work as you imagine. Charging $20/gal of gas is not a market reaction, it's a gouge.

Is it cheaper to deliver 1000 cases to 1 location or 10 cases to 100. The store owner can now sell 100 times as much. Do you not acct for thst?
