- reasoning: you can decide not to use something if the cost is to high, but if there isn't any you are boned -- nm - Beaker Jul 3, 08:04
Wouldn't the first lead to the second? (and I think there's a difference between price hikes and gouging) -- nm - Roger More Jul 3, 07:49

- Stemming from Calgary two weeks ago, there's a lot of chatter about requiring "Price Gouging" legislation. People got choked at $20 bags of ice. - Name Withheld By Request Jul 3, 07:51 3
  - there was an ice shortage in canada?....nm - x Jul 3, 07:58 1

  - I'll bet there's already price gouging legislation. Shortages are obviously bad, because they mean that there's less than demand - Roger More Jul 3, 07:57
