RE: Irma went West instead of East, Miami is spared, Tampa Bay is in the crosshairs
So if you don't let free market set prices, who do you propose will set prices? Your friends? My friends? How is that moral? Do you understand what happens in socialist countries like Cuba and Venezuela when the power of government is used to intervene in the market and disrupt supply and demand.
I know that during time of crisis it sounds all soft and fuzzy and warm and nice and cuddly to talk about the "mean old free market".
That is exactly the time when the weak minded are found out, and we see lack of logic on display.
Sorry to be a touch harsh, but if you don't believe in free markets, you need to move to your favorite socialist/marxist country.
I hope you have a lot of friends in high places in your new country, so you can get special favors.
Else you are going to find that the free market wasn't so cruel after all.
And just how do you think Cuba and Venuzuela became socialist societies? Via anarchism, that's how! I believe in free markets, I just don't believe that the greedy should take advantage of the needy in times of crisis. You obviously need to try your shoe on the other foot. I'll bet it doesn't fit.
