I suggest you read Walter Block - El-ahrairah BAMA - 3/14 20:35:21

Yes, I realize you libertarians have no moral code when - SparkyStalcup MU - 3/14 20:39:04

I think one of your biggest hangups is that you don't - ummmm MU - 3/14 20:43:06

I understand scarcity and inelastic demand quite well. - SparkyStalcup MU - 3/14 20:54:54

Wrong again - El-ahrairah BAMA - 3/14 20:41:31

"moral code", lol. I don't condone the action, but unlike - 90Tiger STL - 3/14 20:39:56

As much as they can. Just like you looking for the best - ummmm MU - 3/14 20:26:04

Really? I've never seen them charge $70 a bottle . Nm - SparkyStalcup MU - 3/14 20:28:21

Because during non-emergency times, no one would - ummmm MU - 3/14 20:31:42

So you are saying theres a reasonable and fair price - SparkyStalcup MU - 3/14 20:33:53

let me guess, you're in favor of the gvmt swooping in and - 90Tiger STL - 3/14 20:23:15

It depends who you are and what you intend to do with it. - ummmm MU - 3/14 20:22:23

like all goods, depends on the buyer's perspective and - 90Tiger STL - 3/14 20:22:05

luxury good is a very "elastic" term (nm) - 90Tiger STL - 3/14 20:15:30

what is considered reasonable or fair, especially in a time - 90Tiger STL - 3/14 20:14:08

Actually, I'm happy that Amazon told him to go - SparkyStalcup MU - 3/14 20:18:04
