[QUOTE="Wolf76, post: 2153309, member: 75779"] "Secondly, if you read the link you sent, almost ALL price gouging laws are in reference to "A declared state of emergency." There is no justifiable argument that there is a declared state of emergency." This is the problem. It started with "price gouging doesn't exist" and I provide laws that factually contradict the statement. Then "There's no justifiable argument that there's a declared state of emergency" and the article specifies that many states are in a declared state of emergency due to Covid 19 (start with the individual state listings and go down the list...Alabama is first and they are in an emergency state for example). If you'd like to share your opinions, completely cool with me. When you start making claims that are factually incorrect, then there's an issue. I wonder if you'd be ok with hospitals 2x,3x,4x their prices during declared emergencies and your personal emergency (heart attack). After all, you can buy most of the equipment and supplies on the open market. A large portion of the bill for is labor and head knowledge... why shouldn't they make the most of the situation? This scenario sounds kind of foolish/evil and adds context to this discussion. FWIW.. I'm a huge civil liberties advocate and I work in hospitals for a living. Supply and demand is a great system if there is minimal oversight. [/QUOTE]
