Price gouging is not real. It’s a necessary component of capitalism so that all who need a product can have access to it.


Price gouging isn’t real in a 100% capitalistic system, which we are not (and I don’t know of any country who is, but I could be wrong?). You can argue that you don’t think it should be illegal, or that we should have a 100% capitalist system, but under our current economy price gouging is a real thing and this is a textbook definition of it despite the fact that you are so much smarter than the rest of us.

It's really simple. When demand is high and supply is less, the value of a product increases.

If you sell out of a product the price is too low

Somehow the very average American has decided this time honored truth is evil.
