[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 3404167, member: 9374"] Sure... the free market allows those of us who perceive some individuals or companies as profiteering to make our own decisions as to whom we will support in the future. Now, if you're selling a product and prices are going up because your costs are going up from the distributor and/or manufacturer, then you don't have any choice but to raise the prices.... but do you think that is what we are seeing here? No. What we are seeing is excessive profiteering. Like skyrocketing prices for plywood when a hurricane is coming, like skyrocketing generator prices when a winter storm hits, etc. If a RETAIL establishment is drastically raising ammo prices right now, it is almost guaranteed this is the result of profiteering either from them or their supply chain. This is the epitome of capitalism - if enough of the community perceives an individual or company as nefarious and parasitic, they will choose to shop elsewhere in the future and the market will sort itself out, while the unscrupulous parties will starve. Sounds perfect to me. [/QUOTE]
