Yesterday some dude posted a video to shame apparently Indian gas station owners charging $10 a gallon around the Hurricane Helene disaster area. The lolberts answered with rebuttals that free market pricing is the best rationing mechanism in a time of scarcity.
People are saying that the gas station could ration gallons per customer and keep the same price, and the lolberts are saying this is communist price control.
I'm not really sure how much merit is held by either position since I've never really thought about this with respect to a disaster area. Clearly the 1973 price controls were a bad idea, but this is a debate over what a private business owner should do after a hurricane. My gut feeling is that gas should be rationed by customer, not by pricing. But maybe the gas station is passing along supply chain pricing to a certain extent?
edit: Texas punished gas price gouging in 2019 after Hurricane Harvey.
Yeah but it let him whine about how somehow wanting to be paid makes you equal to niggers who steal.
How can we defeat such well thought out logical thinkers?
No, I don't hold any hope of such. When they open with changing reality to justify getting pissy, everything from there is just a joke to amuse myself.
Nobody here can form bonds of friendship because they are all locked in a purity spiral to see who is the most anti-woke, anti-Jew, and anti-whatever we are mad about today.
All property is theft, comrade.
