Saw images of gas up to over $9 a gallon, hotel rooms increased too 200%, case of bottled water didn't even look like a 24 pack) was $30.96. State AG is investigating it all because it is illegal, especially on a state of emergency.
Price gouging laws aside (whatever they may be). it's the consumer that drives the issue every bit as much as the vendor. Mega storms bring hysteria with them and the crowd plays along by fighting over that last loaf of bread. Those that complain about the gouger then return to do business with them afterwards is just another sign of life in America. It's all about the dollar.
Some say you can place your ear next to his, and hear the ocean ....
