Seems like basic supply and demand rather than something nefarious?

But I guess if we accepted that, nobody would be to blame.

Thank you. This thread is full of people acting as though price gouging during emergencies hasn't been illegal since before the Internet.

Not a California thing either. Southern states have similar laws thanks to common natural disasters like hurricanes.

Basic supply and demand is nefarious when it comes to survival.
