Number one free market principle: people will always do what's best for themselves. Therefore, if you allow price gouging, the suppliers will hear about the available profit, and send more supply.
we are talking about a matter of days. We are also talking about many people who do not have access to funds, for obvious reasons. Not to mention logistical concerns with sending more supply.

If i came across someone selling a case of water for $100, i'd simply give them $10, tell them to go frick themselves, and take the case of water. I'll gladly break their nose if they try to take it back from me.
