I left a bottle of that on my desk at work. The cleaners probably stole it. Had I known how much it was worth, I would have locked it up.

Capitalism and free market enterprise I agree with. But when some really olds go to the supermarket that one day of the week to buy a 4 pack of toilet paper to last them a month and there is none, it reminds me of socialism.

One of the wife's friends said the store she shops has shelf full of gallon bleach for $50/jug. No, not the nearest Walmart, they ain't got any anyway. Some other brand "discount" store, don't recall name. We save up and do a shopping expedition to WM every couple weeks.

I recently read that two guys in TN (?) bought 18,000 hand sanitizers when the virus FIRST came to the US and they were selling them on Amazon for up to $70 bottle, but Amazon fianlly shut them down. Amazon says that you can not price gauge on their website. Now the guys say that they will probably donate them. Why not sell them for a few dollars more than what you bought them for?

maybe because the attorney general is now on their butts for price gouging, they sold something like 700 bottles (don't remember the exact #) and probably got their money back on all of it with just those being sold.

ahole jackwagons deluxe.

beanie babies, fine sell them for 10k, old car, fine sell it for 100k, when you start to affect peoples health and ability to avoid a virus then you pretty much have the ahole jackwagon deluxe award.

Odd, it reminds me of capitalism, because that's what it is.
