First off, I want to say, I like pretty much all of you......Well the person you portray yourself to be online anyway, I have never met any of you in person.
I don't feel targeted! I do think that when we converse online like this it's easier to "not like" someone because of something they typed......The reality is if we were all sitting around a fire at elk camp having this conversation I think we'd find we actually have pretty similar views.
I agree, do on to others, help each other, etc.......they are moral values which we fill anger when we see someone break those values. Like it or not, there are a lot of people who looked at ammo as a commodity, and money of the future......it looks like they were right. My biggest gripe with people complaining about gougers is this: At its heart, it IS capitalism, True supply and demand. Call it greed or whatever else you want but it's still capitalism and obviously many people planned to make money on it.... They looked at ammo and reloading stuff much different then you, to them it's something to buy and sell . Where do you draw the line?
Lumber prices are through the roof. Is the guy that saw this coming and bought a semi load of OSB at $6.00 a sheet that he can now sell at $30.00 a gouger? Some people are just happy to be able to get it.
Housing is in high demand, Californian movers that can afford to pay more for houses than local buyers, drove the price up......these local buyers had a rough year last year.....Is the seller a gouger to sell for the higher buyer?
What other style of government do you want? A free market is the best in the whole world, but we need to stay true to it, not pick and choose when we follow it.
As others said, Laugh it off or ignore them. They will put their efforts where it pays them best.
I hope I don't get banned for recommending this, but why don't you start "liking" thier post with the laughing emoji
