The business is free to offer it for whatever price they want. I am free to buy it or not. I might think they're stupid or poor businessmen if they're pricing beyond what the market will bear, (unless, of course, they are making sales at these high prices). I don't like the high prices (in fact, I am shocked by them). But I fortunately don't need the ammo that badly and can wait for this boom and bust cycle to mature a bit.stevie_d_64 wrote:I want to be sure I understand you, are you saying that this situation is a "free market economy"???v-rog wrote:I'm sure someone will be along to remind us of the free market economy...
I would not prefer the alternative of price controls, which would simply ration the available supplies by other means (waiting in line, bribery, or whateveR). I would not prefer the alternative of mandated purchases (like Obamacare). I don't like my current choices, but I prefer to have choices.
