Ask your self one thing. If a dude from NY can stock up in front of this thing, how could hospitals not?

Kinda like the state of New York hoarding much needed medical supplies and complaining about lack of help from the federal government.

If 2 private citizens made a deal in good faith the fbi can frick off.

People like you think businesses can snap a finger and create a product then. Because letting the market play itself out is the only way to get a product mass produced in the most efficient way. There weren't steady supply lines prior, clearly.

These things expire after 5 years and arent routinely needed in a large capacity. A lot of hospitals did stock up, but there weren't enough for everyone to do so. Those stocks have all long since been depleted.

Huh? I'm saying the exact opposite.

The time it will take to correct the market with increased supply are why this guy's stash needs to be redistributed.

I know. I have sold em for decades. You would have to buy them, stock them, then buy more. Just like you do with all essential supplies if not used.

There’s two types of “NY”... there’s “The City” (NYC) and then 99% of rest of the state (Upstate; ie Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, etc.)

The city is full of shitbags, degenerates, and assholes like this piece of trash...

And then there’s the rest of state where people are doing things like THIS

I was born in NY and only ever been to the city 2 times for Yankees games/Bachelor parties... if NYC wanted to succeed from the state, the rest of us wouldn’t object.

Having “NYC” associated with the remaining 11M of us is a black eye on our reputation both in the states and abroad.

I hope this a-hole gets max penalty/fines...

Trump is going to hammer Cuomo on this if he ends up being the Dem nominee, as he should

At what point does it stop being profit and become gouging?

Facts and circumstances, but I'd say this situation during the midst of a pandemic fits the bill.

You have zero appreciation of the urgency of these supplies. Waiting for the market to correct the disruption these people cause has and will kill people.

Upstate NY is an amazing place.

NYC should be cleansed with fire for the greater good.

Sedate him.

Throw him into a pig pen.

Walk away.

He’ll never hurt anyone again.
