    I know what you mean an others do to, but...that made me laugh. I got a warped sense of humor though. ;)

    I do agree, be nice to one another.

    I've learned this...people won't forget those who did good during a crisis. They also don't forget the people who price gouge, buy up everything with no intention to help others, etc etc.

    Remember, you can buy up everything during a crisis. There is no law against it. Nor should there be. There is also no protection for what may happen to folks who do such things. There is a reason why most preppers don't go running their mouths about their stockpiles or hidey holes.

    An I'm against laws telling people what they can or can not buy. It's a slippery slope. Plus, it shouldn't need to be a law to do the right thing an think of your community. I'm weird though, so whatever.

    Mi good friend’s daughter just died a couple days ago. She was In her early 20’s .
    Most likely his whole close family are infected and he can’t find essentials to survive .
    I don’t know if he will agree with Supply and demand Theory, in this pandemic situation.

    Assuming the items arent stolen, if this man can get all this stuff what's stopping medical facilities from doing the same ? Dont like his prices ? Go somewhere else ! Worlds overpopulated anyway that's probably why they created this virus. Go ahead and crucify me idc

    i think some would call it, "survival of the fittest".

    i think that since you said your friends daughter has died (and again sorry for his loss), you are too personally and emotionally involved.

    you are only seeing it one way..from HIS point of view, and HIS loss.

    you feel badly for your friend, and we can understand that, but it is clouding your view of the way it is, when it comes to "survival of the fittest".
     
    Badmon Thanks this.

    Jerks or wanted to improve their chances at living after hearing about all the dead Italian doctors is more like it.. If your government or boss won’t protect or can’t protect you and you have a option to do it at a hefty price . What do you do ??

    yes but you are not a health care worker trying to SAVE people's lives on a daily basis. Putting your OWN life and the life of YOUR loved ones in jeopardy. Just because it is your job.

    So yeah, who cares if that nurse gets sick saving that 60+ yr old grandmother of 4, and takes it home to her mother who ends up dying because there wasn't enough ventilators for her. But hey that face mask helped Clemp be sure to have enough extra cash to buy another few scratch off tickets for the lottery. These are real lives. Not numbers. Regardless. SMH
