Price controls are retarded and high prices exist for a reason: They signal to consumers that goods are scarce and need to be consumed cautiously (do you really need to board up your windows with fresh plywood? Maybe that old sheet of MDF in the garage will do). And they signal to producers and distributors to haul ass to flood the region with as much of the scarce goods as fast as possible.
Suppressing those price signals doesn't stop the shortage, it makes it last longer. Why risk your truck on potentially flooded roads and uncertain gas supplies when there's only the usual prices being paid.
Price controls are necessary when gov allows pharmaceutical manufacturers to sue other pharma manf companies for producing their patented drugs.
obviously the correct answer is to get rid of the gov, unfortunately jews exist
Kinda like stemming the bleeding on an infected wound with a muck poultice though. Jews run the patent courts, the FDA and the patent office.
Or doesn't allow manufacturers to produce the drug without doing a couple years of testing on an identical drug.
It’s just because of envy. When prices spike only a few can afford them. Those who can’t afford the products then feel it is “unfair” that others can so they demand price controls. It doesn’t matter that price controls will hurt everyone, including those who couldn’t afford the initial spiked cost but would be able to afford the product as the market became flooded quite quickly, what matters is “fairness.”
That and honestly it can be a little anti-social. But at the same time it has to be recognised that the costs of running a business do genuinely go up during times of scarcity and disaster, and forbidding them to respond to that is masochistic.
