anyhow, it is stil a dumb rhetorical question because "price gouging" means where people can't get it anywhere else, they have enough that nobody is going to go without, but that money isn't gonna feed anyone either, and what kind of an idiot is going to say that they are taking advantage of a situation in which they are also in?
it's complete nonsense, typical illogical false argument of socialists who are really just trying to wedge a crack in your morals so they can eventually have you eating babies
charging a price that can be paid is not dancing around a golden calf and murdering babies
completely false equation and you know it
I wasn't equating. I was offering a situation in which I am obviously allowed to pass judgment, thereby negating the claim that I am never allowed to pass judgment.
yeah, an extremely unlikely one in which someone is not simply going to charge more because during a disaster their supply lines are cut and their own future is uncertain also
which is deceptive and dishonest argumentation and something that politicians use to convince people to accept unacceptable things, that paint normal people as demons , in order to win votes and cast shadow on their probably more honorable opponents
That was the scenario he described and that I was originally responding to. This was not about buying toilet paper before lockdowns.
What is going on with you, lately? You sound angry, all the time.
i'm not going to take part in some fucking stupid fake hypotheticals like trains and people tied to the tracks, these are not honest arguments and neither is the hypotheticals people cook up for these stupid price controls idea, or the idea that i can just ify stealing something from someone because reasons
there is no exceptions to the decalogue and you should know that
why am i angry?
because people are repeating mindless garbage that erases thought and i want to do something to shine a light on how and why it's wrong
and yes, i stopped drinking entirely 5 days ago, thanks to the help of our Lord and Savior
maybe he'll help me ignore stupidity at some point too but perhaps i like this game
Hey, congratulations! 🥳 Amen! God is good.
Just noticed that grumpy cat was back. 😂
yeah, alcohol was my way of trying to hide from it
sick of the way it hurts me and slows me down and makes my work disorderly
Well, then be grump for a while, then. You'll eventually adjust.
