Him upping the price to 70 is shameable. Otherwise he’s not wrong about the above
except he fails to mention creating a shortage in the cities he cleaned out...

he's about to be raked over the coals - he supposedly did this in a state with anti gouging laws. $1000 fine per sale possibly.

possessing them is not in itself illegal or the problem. it's what he did after buying them. you think the govt would want to waste resources on this guy? you think he would be in hot water if he just used all of it to fill his tub and bathe in it?

no, the fukking guy tried to price gouge the needy and vulnerable.

I do kind of understand, but still...he ended up creating shortage wherever they cleared out the stores.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit softly.

If by needy and vulnerable, you mean stupid then yes. But the government isnt supposed to intervene with "price gouging" (ignoring basic supply and demand principles) except on essential necessities for life, such as water....not hand sanitizer and lysol wipes. I mean, for years doctors have even been telling the public to stop using hand sanitizer because it isnt as effective as just wash their hands. I cant feel bad for the plebs who stupidly spent obscene amounts of money on it.

What should happen to the local people on craigslist selling single rolls of toilet paper for $10/roll? Its literally the same thing

No one is dying over a lack of access to hand sanitizer or TP

I stand by my statement, I hope he sues the ever living chit out of them for MARKET VALUE of the goods they stole

lol exactly. Everyone now-a-days just looking to be a hero on their soapboxes to get that validation and to be a hardass toward others like their chit don't stink. Or that they think they can throw rocks.

Bottom line is this falls within what others do on ebay or anywhere else where someone buys something and resells it for a profit. Literally happening under your noses every fuking minute.

So he tried to make a profit, or in other words "capitalize" in a capitalism society on a product(s) that are in high demand.

Love the land. Fuk you all. Fuking iditos.
