Who the fuck builds a house in such area

Holy shit youre right. Price gouging after rare natural disasters is proof that capitalism doesn't work. Please take 60% of my income to give to niggers.

Pffft. Worth way more than that if you need it.

How about buy several gallons for pennies before you actually need it. Id sell for $1000 a litre desu.

Dont like it? Find your own

thats what happens when you loot the surplus away

Disgusting what you would do to your brothers and sisters for a dollar. But as it stands that is reality. So keep it up.

Holy shit I wish I was in Texas now I would be RICH

It would be fucking ethical that companies would at least try to help people suffering under the poor conditions of having a damn hurricane ontop of them.

Including that those companies are settled mainly on the United States, a fucking country that bails them everytime they press the wrong button.

How about you start thinking that people on the top should stop wanting more stocks and money for their companies just for the sole reason of being better than anybody else in the whole entire fucking competition you imbecile piece of shit.

How much are water filters right? Let the retards buy bottled water.

>Prices are determined by supply and demand
Oh no, how unnatural!

60%? Not enough for true Socialism, we need to give 75% of our income at least to ensure that niggers can breed more effectively.

The Alex Jones fanbase were prepared once again

If only we had laws against such practices!

This is why capitalism is just going to end up eating itself alive with no one to be willing on working with the corporations that will just keep total domination and evil globalism.

I like how you fucking animals defend the companies because of the ''muh supply demand'' ''muh monies'' instead of agreeing that the people on the top are fucking egoystical pricks.

>mfw this webm is real
i.4cdn.org/gif/1502970702068.webm

Got a hot water heater? You've got 40-50 gallons of drinkable water in the tank. You had a week's warning before this storm hit to stock up.

You now pay for your stupidity, and deserve no sympathy.

Just shows how fucked everyone who lives in a city truely is.
When shtf there will be people from rural areas cutting off supply lines and digging up roads leading into cities....
Just for fun hahahaha.

>the free market will fix i-

So would you really give your water away for a dollar when there's none in the area and everybody's thirsty?

No: You're a liar and a hyppocrite.

''the freer the market, the freer the people xdxdxd''

Yeah sure capitalism TOTALLY works. Please cut all road funding and police funding.

You imbecile, we're talking about corporations that are able to do that, not me a humble middle class citizen living on dominican republic and having to work just to sustain myself and maybe help a little bit more to my fucking family.

The free market would fix it, if America actually had a free market.
If there was a free market, you'd have plenty of people seeing the opportunity, loading their cars up with water and going to Houston. This would create competition and drive the prices down.

Price gouging prevents last minute hoarding by the retards that chose to live in a hurricane prone region, knew what was incoming, yet still didn't prepare.

It's basic supply and demand. If they didn't put the price up then they'd sell out and less people would have water. Most likely some kike would buy up all the water then go around on a speedboat selling it for your most expensive jewelry.

>You now pay for your stupidity, and deserve no sympathy.

That's exactly what the looters will say about all the owners of all those little cookie cutter mansions that are filled with all of those pretty little things.

>no somebody else should do it

Communism in a nutshell

Except that it had a free market, until that nice idea of yours by having a free market where the government can't regulate, just motivated corporations to sponsor politicians for their own narcisistic benefit.

>'it's illegal to sell essential products at a hiked price'

did this retard miss that out? The store owners will face a class action lawsuit and lose millions.

Of course it should be motivated accross the country to donate some water at least, but corporations should be doing the same.

>water shotage
>price of water increases so only the people who need it the most get it
>gives signal to traders and truck drivers to fix the shortage
>THIS IS BAD BECAUSE THERE WASN'T MAGICALLY MORE DRINKABLE WATER IN THE AREA
Cross the portal commies.

>Except that it had a free market,
Is that why there's laws banning price gouging in situations like this?

A free market, aside from all those laws and regulations.

Whats your point?
>Free market doesn't work because there are people who don't want free market
You retarded?

Supply and demand, bitchez. It's basic economics. Charity is fun too.

Thats property. So its different. We have a right to oir property being protected by law. There is no right to affordable water let alone during a weather event that you were supposed to get ready form.

Also isnt it raining there? Like 99$ per hour or some shit.

you plebs don't understand, capitalism is fixing it.

I never said that you mongol, i said that corporations will use politicians as a way to get other companies out of the competition.

Shilling Cultured-Thug... My nigga have a god damn BUMP

It's almost as if goods or services become more valuable if they become scarce or demand suddenly increases

So start a corporation. You'll find out a basic reality:
If a corporation acted like you wanted, it wouldn't be a corporation for very long.

The same factors that prevent you, an individual, from doing it, are multiplied many times over for a corporation.

The opportunity cost of doing an operation like that is very high.

In which point it is no longer free market, dingus

Kek

>In a free market corporations would tell the government to not let the market be free so there wouldn't be a free market, check mate lolbertarians

That's why the corporations should donate some of their fucking goods, wouldn't they do that for the good of the nation that saves them from bankrupcy.

Wouldn't they you stupid prick?

>muh free market
>i would've charged more
You can tell who has only lived a totally sheltered life, it's always the NEETs sucking on mommy's tit that like to sound like hardasses when in the same situation they'd be crying for water or other necessities

>get gorrilions of free water all over city
>water price rises
I thought the free market qas supposed to stop shit like that, I knew I should have voted for Bernie

>ethical
ethics dont exist. they are based upon nothing,
morality however, DOES exist. it comes from god and we'll know soon enough if its the gouger or the gouged that was in the wrong

How much water is this referring too?
A bottle, a gallon, a lake?

But hey let's bring in waves of undocumented workers. It's not like it will increase the total supply in the country reducing the value of every low skill worker already living here. We love minorities!

... isn't an over abundance of water the problem here?

Get a goddamn 5 gallon bucket and stick it outside for an hour. Pour in a capful of bleach and wait another hour. Bam, you've got water.

Does nobody have a brain anymore?

Its true. As why lolbertarians are considered simple or newly redpilled.

Cunts. I got a favor to ask. Can you down vote this cuck vid pls?

>inb4 not your personal army
yeah yeah just do it.

>lower price artificially
>everything is old out in minutes
>water doesn't magically spawn and the area does not in fact get more water since you lowered the price and didn't give the incentive for people to bring more water to the area
Genius. These gapitalist needs are sure greedy little trolls living in their moms basements.

>fat bald NEET speaking ill of capitalism
What a surprise

That has nothing to do with capitalism you hopeless parody of a fucking retard

>That's why the corporations should donate some of their fucking goods
If they do, great! If they don't, well they're not obliged to.

Please don't mix emotions to economics, that is how you ruin countries.

>every single corporation has taken tax-funded bailouts
>corporations should do the job of not only the unprepared individuals, but also the state and federal agencies we already pay tax money for to provide these services.

What's it like being retarded?

that's entirely up to them

how much have you personally donated toward the relief effort?

>the people on the top
source? so far this is a report of gouging, we still dont have names
>it turns out to be a nigger and its memory holed faster than barcelona/charlottesville

>what is crony capitalism?

So you would prefer to not save people from dying of thirst just for your own benefit and dollars?

you want a world where not only is water ALWAYS 99 dollars but you go to jail for not buying it

>So you would prefer to not save people from dying of thirst just for your own benefit and dollars?
That is literally what you are doing right now by not going there, retard.
It is your preference as well.

City people are infamous for their lack of practical knowledge

Right. Libertarians by default get subverted by the cronies. Everytime

This user doesn't even know what capitalism is

>t. never been to detroit

tfw you realise democracy is worthless
tfw you realise capitalism is an economic democracy
tfw you realise capitalist fascism is the one true ideology
>truly ascended

Try to learn a little.

Markets are a beutiful thing.

It's almost like there isn't enough supply to meet the demand, causing the price to rise. Surely if prices were fixed, they wouldn't run out of water.

Roads would be far cheaper that way

>my ideology is completely and utterly baseless so the only way to justify it is by threatening you with eternal damnation

>Asking for source that demostrates people on the top are egoystical

You shouldn't be even asking that shit, that's almost a damn fact.

>Greek speaking in favor of capitalism
Surprise indeed!

>leaf
disregarded

Im saving up some 500 dollars worth of water, at least that's all i can give.

when there were floodings in my area I went around handing out bottles of water I bought in preparations to people who were out of supplies, I don't get people who profit off disasters, literally jewish behavior, and the worst thing is that all the magapedes justify it.

>staying in the zone after being told repeatedly to GTFO
They deserve it for their stupidity.

Businesses simply don't have enough supply to meet demand. Hence the price hike.

no, I dont want to know about the people at the top, I want proof that the gouger was a person at the top
do we have the name of the gouger or not?

>dying of thirst
If you're dying of thirst when it's pissing down rain, you're doing something wrong.

Sounds to me like somebody just doesn't want to sell their handy bottled water.

>fascist commies actually think more water would magically appear if you lower the price of water
No wonder why all the "right-wing" commie countries relied on slave labor.

Why do you need to heat up your hot water?

Thats fine. Still doesn't make me wrong.

It's funny how the lefties hate corporations, but loooooove the minorities that corporations push on them.

>doesn't know Greece is run by socialists
rapefugees are ruining germany

>ethics are based on s-s-something, HONEST!
no they arent. only morality exists, and it is based on god

>socialism ruins greece
Capitalism ain't perfect but it's better than the alternatives

in a communist system there wouldn't be any water to sell.

Anti-capitalists are the most retarded people on the planet. Socialism is the flat-eartherism of politics.

>Supply should be exclusively controlled by private individual entities that operate for-profit
>Surely this will result in a caring society that can take care of its own

Prices don't rise out of thin air. There simply isn't enough (potable) water to give to everybody. The only options are either to a) sell the water, or b) rapidly disintegrate into looting and rationing.

Almost like Obama care. Hmmmm, really ignites my pecans.

>So you would prefer to not save people from dying of thirst just for your own benefit and dollars?
That's not what he said, is it?
You have no argument so you've resorted to strawmans, already?

Niggers and spics are not my brothers and sisters

>surrounded by flood water
>it costs more now
Only in america...

>private individual entities that operate for-profit

You mean people?

>exactly
oh god you really are retarded arent you? everything you say makes the state look worse, not better or more necessary

Fascists trying to guilt ancaps is the most hypocritical shit I've seen. If you're posting on Sup Forums right now instead of getting up and moving your ass to Houston to help your fellow Americans then guess what your "nationalism" is nothing but talk.

>If I repeat it enough times, it will come true

That's not how supply and demand work. A business providing a product or service will charge the highest price it possibly can for that product or service, until the point it is no longer profitable (due to lost sales).
Businesses selling the water are charging a higher price not because they're running out, but because they know they can make a bigger profit.

That said, this is a necessary evil of capitalism. Socialism sure as shit wouldn't have done any better.

Its raining 99$ per hour outside. But hey people will die of thirst no doubt.
