They're awful people that should be ashamed of themselves but clearly aren't as they see nothing wrong and don't even see it as gouging. -- (edited) - Krusty Mar 14, 09:22

That guy is an idiot for letting his face and name be public -- nm - ty97 Mar 14, 09:12 1
- Agreed! -- nm - JackDawson Mar 14, 09:13
Capitalist piglet. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 14, 09:12 4
- But Bery, capitalism is the best! -- nm - Pippy-with a side eye Mar 14, 09:14 3

    - I'm fine with it when it's a hot toy around Christmas or some limited edition item that no one needs to stay alive. -- nm - Krusty Mar 14, 09:24 1
      - yeah, doing this in a pandemic, that's just wrong -- nm - ty97 Mar 14, 09:36
