Renton, I'm gonna use this thread to hail you on the econo-com.

WV was just hit with a water crisis and I imagine there was a run on the stores. What are the merits for price gouging in this instance considering the capacity for the federal gov't or private industry to meet the demand without them? It seems to me like there won't be a desperate lack of water and consumers aren't being forced to stretch their paychecks on the back of a rare event they have no responsibility for. I don't see the harm.
