people who have water in a big pallet during a crisis were selling it before the crisis and are business people

the argument is absurd

you charge higher prices for higher demanded goods versus low demanded goods

ie, the money is pretty much worthless in a disaster, so what's the problem exactly? not like the seller is going to go down to the casino and sniff coke off titties or anything i mean come on, it's a frickin disaster, and charging 2-4x normal prices is not putting a gun to anyone's head and equating the two things is just fucking disgusting, dishonest rhetoric used by socialist politicians to shift blame for their endless spending of borrowed money and the cosy relationship to the money printers

a certain man did a bunch of table flips and whippings over this when priests and bankers colluded against the faithful

there is zero relationship between someone asking a high price with low supply and cornering the market, said shopkeeper is probably going to lose their whole business anyway, or lose their shirt repairing after the damage, and so on and so on

i just fucking hate socialists, and anyone who thinks that jesus was a socialist is teh worst kind of socialist 

 Jesus wasn't a socialist, but he wasn't a capitalist or a libertarian, either. He wasn't sent here to be an Austrian economist or to focus on helping us maximize our profits or live more comfortable lives. 

 He certainly wasn't sent here to make our lives harder either, and making divisive exceptions to universal laws doesn't do anything good 

 Extreme scenarios help us to understand the true Nature of the Laws. Normal scenarios are too complex and nuanced for a philosophical discussion.

Extremes are like pseudocode.
