Tell me exactly how many people are helped when there is no water to buy because one guy brought a uhaul to buy out the store that had $3 cases of water?
Maybe that guy is buying them so he can go charge $99 for a case of water. Who are you to stand in the way of the free market?
Let's be real here. The guy selling the water for 99 a case isn't looking out for the people, he is looking out for himself. It is currently a disaster zone and not a free market.
