Wait, so now the guy caused the scarcity instead of the panic due to coronavirus?

Eh.
There are shitbags like this every where
The city has been something different during the time.
Everyone helping, friendly, donating money time etc to help during this
At 7pm everyday since Friday they go outside make noise and applaud all the health workers etc.

It’s been great since I’ve moved here and I’m never leaving. (Well until we have kids and get a house in CT)

That said, this shitbag is part of the Hasidic Jew community who are all shitbags

This is a shift by shift need, not a week by week need. Profiteering and hoarding as this dude clearly was is killing people.

Econ majors dont have a clue what is actually going on in hospitals. He could have helped protect an entire major hospital's staff for a week, instead he took these supplies and became a cutthroat shyster. Shame on all of you.


ETA: 5000 boxes could have protected a dozen hospitals for a week. Its unfortunate that it will take a family member being hospitalized for you to realize how unbelievably naive you are.

I can set aside the economic argument and just say this guy is a shite who can’t separate his greed from the common good.

I hope he gets roasted.

Again, you are completely out of your depth. 5000 boxes of N95s could help save 1000s of lives. I dont give 2 shits about your long term enocomic outcomes, this fricker and assholes like you who obviously support his actions prevented thousands of lives from being saved by tearing critical supplies away from the people who needed it most.

Again you dont have a fricking clue, these items are being shipped off the moment they're manufactured because they were purchased a month ago worldwide. A warehouse of masks being hoarded by a greedy bastard like this dude need to be forcibly confiscated and shipped out immediately.

Your idea of normal world economics is done for the next 18+ months. Get the frick out of the way or say hello to the federal government.

frick, get your parents, grandparents, and all of their friend killed. I'm protecting mine, but you should ignore the hoax and do whatever makes you the most money.

Most good economists do not agree with price gouging as it is almost always the least efficient allocation of resources.


If there are unused masks while people need them, that is considered a resource allocation market failure by economists.

He wasn't hoarding them he was selling them and we don't even know what he was charging because the article was a crappy article, shocker.

One of the enlightening things about this distaster is that econ majors in louisiana seem to largely be morally bankrupt pieces of shite who are armchair public health experts. You're another drop in the bucket.
