      It’s not even that. Even assuming this premise is true, perhaps people should not need to blow half their life savings obtaining basic necessities during a catastrophe?

      More than three centuries of capitalism and the efficiencies of the free market still exist only in theories.

      If they didn’t charge that much, the first few customers would take it all.

      There’s a much more effective solution called “rationing”. Remember that only good war that Amerika and UK fought and won, and how successful that was at the time.
