>finite supply of goods exist in the world.
>market shocks like hurricane artificially inflate demand
>this causes prices to rise in order to maintain market equilibrium.
>if prices do not rise, those who do not need goods will purchase a surplus, leaving a shortage of goods.
>if prices rise with demand, this quells demand and maintains supply of a good so that those who NEED the good can purchase it for the market value at the time.
People who live pay check to pay check and are too busy keeping up with their fucking rap videos and fantasy football leagues probably didn't even attempt to plan ahead and purchase simple fucking items like water and food and flood insurance before hurricane season started yet again this year.
Then because they're literally too fucking stupid to look more than 5 minutes into their future and think of something else besides what WR they will trade for next or what shawty chicken head will give them their next bit of dome, starts bitching like a stupid nigger about "Muh price gouging!"

You could just as easily increase supply and sell at lower margin to sell more and undersell those who are "correcting the market." If you have the unload capacity to do so, you will beat all the small stores who are price gouging Jews. Your dumb, 3 variable market calculations are kindergarten economics.

It's a foreseeable event dumbshit. The reason there are limited supplies is because of lack of storage capacity not a true shortage. However, warehouse stores can afford to undersell and afford prudent shipping to flood the market with cheap bottled water.

As for Gasoline, that is a storage issue... too bad.

>>139420305
Nice psyop, faggot

Unchecked capitalism leads to usury, gauging and eventually transforms into plutocracy, like you are seeing in the states.

The financial sector needs a strong National Socialist government to keep it from falling into Jewish subversion.

The gas prices are set like that because of a power outage. That's the default setting for a gas station. Notice how every price is the same and it's 10,9,8,7,6.

The top dasani is the price of the water from Home Depot which normally prices them at about 1.75.

The others are the same story.

Go fuck yourself you fucking shill.

>>139423962
>lack of storage capacity not a true shortage.
The reasons the supply is low are because demand surges way beyond what was anticipated combined with people who chimp out when sellers increase prices.
If prices are allowed to increase (even dramatically), this allows two important things to happen:
1. Water can immediately go to the people who need it not the people who just might want another 24pk just in case;
2. More importantly, the increased price gives vendors outside of the flood zone significant incentive to get more water to it, by whatever means necessary. At $100 a gallon, rednecks would be delivering water to your rooftop via boat.
Inability for prices to increase cause shortages both now because of hoarding and later because of less incentive to transport the goods to the affected area.

Some dude will hear about people playing 42 bucks for a case of water, load up 100 crates into his pickup, drive to wear people need it and charge 21 dollars. Then another guy sees that.

Pretty soon and bunch of greedy assholes are having a price war and they sell the water for a small mark up while taking the risk.

>>139420305
This is how capitalism ensures that extra supplies go to the places that need them.

Ever wonder why there are never famines in capitalist countries, yet nearly every communist country suffers a massive one (Russia, China, North Korea, Ethiopia, even Venezuela now...). It isn't because crops fail - that happens all the time. The problem is the response.

Under communism, if one area suffers a shortfall, the other regions have no incentive to assist them. In fact, knowing that the government may try to forcefully redistribute their surplus to the affected region, there's an incentive to hoard excess. You have to look out for yourself first, after all.

In a capitalist system, when crops fail in one region, anyone with some food sells it at jacked up prices. People in nearby areas see that, and take some of their excess over to the region with the shortage so that they can sell at the higher price. Eventually enough surplus is flooding in that the process start to come down, and things stabilize.

So the correct response to seeing $8/bottle water isn't "someone should force them to sell for less!" Selling the water for $1 would just mean that it sells out faster. The correct response is "damn, I should take some water down there and start selling it ASAP!" That'll actually get more water to people - and make you a nice profit, too, to thank you for your efforts.

According to your logic the only people who can obtain a good they need are those capable of absorbing the cost of price gouging.

That's not economics at all. That's just someone who is deeply troubled projecting onto the less fortunate.

In situations of disaster goods should be rationed by mandate with severe penalties for the behaviors being shown.

You only show your own ignorance and willingness to abandon your humanity and community in the name of profit.

Something only a subhuman is capable of.

The UK was capitalist in 1845.

>>139420305
You dont understand how your example of capitalism is a good thing for people who need water in a disaster. Let me educate you with just a few good reasons.

1) higher water prices will incentivize additional sellera to bring in more water. Basic undercutting will lead to equilibrium where there is more water than at the start, and for a lower price.

2) the high pricetag prevents mass buyouts of cheap water in something called a "panic buy", also known as a "flash buy". This is when one person buys all the cheap water in this example, and either a) hordes it, or b) resells it for more. In which case it is a moot point, reductio ad absurdum.

3) the high pricetag allows water to be sent where it is needed most. If there is a group of people who need water, they can pool funds together and buy the water. Those who dont need water will understand risk and spend funds elsewhere.

Again, under your precious socialist system, rather, everyone would get 1oz of water whether they needed it or not, and everyone would die of thirst.

>>139420694
Your ignorance of basic economics is outstanding. Let me tell you a story.


The Soviet Union tried to ignore price signals from western markets. They eventually wanted to get rid of prices and have their communist utopia.

What happened was that they became extremely uncoordinated. They attempted to build houses for every Russian and failed. Wanna know why?


Roofing nails. Without price signals from the west all they had was a communist commissar telling them to make a shitload of nails. They had no way to know whether or not the raw materials were available or what kinds of nails were needed. So they made a bunch of generic nails.

The end result were houses made without roofs. Hundreds if not thousands of homes empty and useless.

Capitalism was not invented, that was when it was first identified as to what was happening.

It didn't even have a name until Marx gave it one, before Marx, Capitalism was simply called "economics."

>>139420519
Also the insane profits attract competitors who will bring more supply and undercut the price gouging

That's actually the more important part. If we had a perfectly enforced rationing by the state like >>139431833 wants, no one would give a fuck about getting drinkable water to texas except the state and a handful of bleeding hearts. But if I can drive somewhere and sell water for 20 bucks you bet I'm fucking getting water there and so will every asshole who buys for a dollar and sells for two.

Jewish subversion is not the fault of capitalism. All that capitalism requires for people to freely engage in trade.

America's problem is Jewish indoctrination. Americans have willingly eroded their laws and culture because they have been brainwashed by Jews for generations.

You can keep your national socialism. More authoritarian bullshit on top of socialism which has been proven to be garbage.

The resource is limited. In order to prevent people from buying up tons of that resource and denying it to others, you raise the price so that people buy less. What is the problem with this?

That isn't how it works in a disaster. Please don't use this as an argument IRL.
If you suddenly need to make an expenditure of $43 for drinkable water because they can get away with it given your own limited ability to move and because someone sold you a house in a flood prone area that isn't getting resources where they are needed. A military attitude of "We need this here now, make it happen" by LEGITIMATE AND ORGANIZED institutions is what is needed.
In a real libertarian society some group in the area would have thier own Chinook. Which they would be allowed to live in.

You can't see that and not call it a dirty rip off. In fact that is what "capitalism" (really the free market) is supposed to be about. Not being forced to buy overpriced water because it offends you so much you want to do them out of business.

price discrimination ensures resources goes to those who really need it

daily reminder, resources cant be distributed effectively if you don't allow for supply and demand to adjust to reality

if water bottles are perpetually $1 then it's an non-issue -- they buy more than they need, usually to the chagrin of others.

if water bottles are $3 each, then it makes the consumer think, "do i really have enough? Or should I go ahead and pass on this one?"

the justification is preparing early (the early bird gets the worm) allows anyone to reap the benefits of the initial low cost, but the receding price increase makes sure that it's difficult to hoard resources

>>139420694
Correct, but as long as there are exchanges to be had, there shall always be a price to pay for everything.

You want to get rid of prices? Get rid of power. Most powerful thing on this planet right now? Money. You get rid of money, all of a sudden it becomes a barter system. Even then, exchanges will exist, and prices will be paid, they just won't be monetary, and you will not see them as financial, though in time, the cycle will begin again.

Fair right? The short term profit will definitely make up for the lost business and refusal to conduct business with them in the future.

Maybe make a phone program that will alert people when they enter a business that engaged in price gouging so they can make an informed choice within the free market. Also it wouldn't hurt for the free market non government BBB to give all those businesses their lowest rating and a warning about the practices.

This guy gets it. Also, it should be added, capitalist countries have a higher standard of living to begin with and can be better prepared. Not only can people stock up (and hence ease demand before the crisis) but they can afford to take time off to stack sandbags and ferry people to safety, etc.

Just look at what Mormons and other Christian organizations did in hurricane Katrina.

But you idiots with your Nazi and Commie and collectivist fetish use "price gouging" as further justifications for systems that are less productive even before a disaster strikes. Also more prone to a dysfunctional response once the disaster occurs.

You are all simplistic morons who fantasize about a big mommy government that helps everyone just right. And aren't you oh-so-moral for having such a conception of government? You weak-minded faggots.

They should let it be known that gouging will be met with severe penalties and in the case of an emergency situation they should be rationing what they do have to ensure as many people have access to the resources as possible. It's not a hard concept.

>>139432668

The incentive is in making $50 off of a pack of bottled water. You're not going to deincentivize a 2000% profit, you're just going to give gougers a better reason to gouge. Let's not forget that you also should be buying water before the hurricane actually hits.

Should have bought it when it was cheap and readily available. Do not wait for a famine to stockpile crops, do so while the land is still plentiful. The people with that water have the right of it. Buy low, sell high, as it has been since the invention of trade.

There is no hurricane at all, it is liberal propaganda.

Liberals and scientists have conspired in a lie that burning massive amounts of fossil fuels puts more carbon in the atmosphere, enhancing the greenhouse effect and causing global warming. This would contribute to larger and more destructive hurricanes which would flood the US.

There is no hurricane. It is a liberal media hoax. Listen to President Trump - there is no global warming, no increase in catastrophic weather and so forth. Even the governor of Texas says so, so the idea this can be happening is impossible! Don't believe the liberal lies from fake news about this so-called hurricane and flood.

It wasn't anywhere near what was seen in Russia.

The dust bowl was a catastrophic weather event that was only made even worse by many farmers having their land foreclosed on. As a result, many crops died, creating a lack of plants to retain the soil.

Many of them migrated to California which hadn't suffered the Dust bowl conditions and thus took up farming there.

>a commie cant into entry level economics, what a surprise
pulled this from my freshman econ book
But when everyone starts suddenly buying batteries or bottles of water for fear of a blackout, shortages can arise. Sometimes there simply is not enough of a particular good to satisfy a sharp spike in demand. And so the question arises: how do we decide which customers get the batteries, the groceries, the gasoline?

We could hold a lottery. Perhaps people could receive a ticket at the grocery store. Winners would get to shop at the usual prices. Losers would just go hungry. Or, more likely, they would be forced to buy the food away from the lottery winners—at elevated prices no doubt, since no one would buy food just to sell it at the same price. So the gouging would just pass from merchant to lottery winning customer.

We could have some sort of rationing program. Each person could be assigned a portion of the necessary goods according to their household need. This is something the U.S. resorted to during World War II. The problem is that rationing requires an immense amount of planning—and an impossible level of knowledge. The rationing bureaucrat would have to know precisely how much of each good was available in a given area and how many people would need it. Good luck getting that in place as a hurricane bears down on your city.

We could simply sell goods on a first come, first serve basis. This is, in fact, what anti-gouging laws encourage. The result is all too familiar. People hoard goods. Store shelves are emptied. And you have to wonder, why is a first to the register race a fairer system than the alternative of market prices? Speed seems a poor proxy for justice."

Retard, this is a by product of low trust multi-cultural society.

Low agency niggers and beans will buy up all of the water if the prices aren't raised. They lack the agency/intelligence to understand "I only need x amount, if I buy too much I'm fucking everybody else." Even your most basic trailer park inhabiting white person has this level of understanding, and if they don't WE CAN FUCKING SHAME THEM FOR BUYING TOO MUCH AT THE COUNTER.

Because scarcity only causes things to be more valuable under capitalism.

>>139436917
have some moreAllowing prices to rise at times of extreme demand discourages overconsumption. People consider their purchases more carefully. Instead of buying a dozen batteries (or bottles of water or gallons of gas), perhaps they buy half that. The result is that goods under extreme demand are available to more customers. The market process actually results in a more equitable distribution than the anti-gouging laws.

Once we understand this, it’s easy to see that merchants aren’t really profiting from disaster. They are profiting from managing their prices, which has the socially beneficial effect of broadening distribution and discouraging hoarding. In short, they are being justly rewarded for performing an important public service.

One objection is that a system of free-floating, legal gouging would allow the wealthy to buy everything and leave the poor out altogether. But this concern is overrated. For the most part, price hikes during disasters do not actually put necessary goods and services out of reach of even the poorest people. They just put the budgets of the poor under additional strain. This is a problem better resolved through transfer payments to alleviate the household budgetary effects of the prices after the fact, rather than trying to control the price in the first place….

national socialism doesn't exist, it is like saying the white black. Socialism destroy the country by bringing the the same thing as liberalism since they both neglected the spirituality of the human and see nothing but numbers. It just doesn't care about the people.

Socialism it's about give everything the people wants but never find a way to pay it, this end up with a country going full bankrupt/broken. Both modern Germany and modern Sweden are socialist states.

National socialism of Germany was just a wrong name for a not planned economy and a strong dictatorship.

General Peron was a socialist President of Argentina, he left after the bringed the country down in a GOLDEN AGE of Argentina, the barn of the world. He gives so much that the people loved it the "free". But it ends up with a broken economy and a dictatorship. Anybody who believes Peron was good it's an ignorant or a corrupt Jew Bastard.

Communism is a tyranny. It destroys the state and it's people culture. It is pretty hostile to anyone who doesn't think the same. Communism treas the human being as if we were animals, like ants. There is no spirituality.

You're fucking retarded. Supply and demand are linked concepts, are were you too retarded to understand basic economics?
There is a massive sudden supply for fuel and water due to the hurricane. Therefore, shop owners adjust to close the gap between value expected and value generated.
Let me break it down for you, retard. Price is a concept that exists because human beings value things subjectively. There is no such thing as an "objective price", because no single entity can say for sure what every person believes a thing is worth. When a person goes to buy a thing, they have a somewhat vague idea of how much they value that thing and what they are willing to pay for it given their current circumstances. If the store is offering the thing within their acceptable range, then they make the purchase. If the store had a price that was higher than what they considered the maximum value of the item at that exact moment, then the person wouldn't be willing to buy the item. The store knows that they got the thing at well under what they sell it for, however in order to have initially been inventivized to ever have brought the item to market, there had to be the promise of eventual gain. Otherwise the consumer good would never have been produced. So the store sells the item above what they get it for, and thus make a profit. The person buys the item at either the amount they believe the item is maximally worth, or less than the amount they believe the item is maximally worth. Thus, both parties emerge having gained, to them, greater value than what they had started with. The person has traded money for an item they believe is worth either exactly the amount of money they traded for or more. The shop has sold the item for more than what they initially invested.

>>139439363
Congratulations, you now should fully understand where price comes from. Now, look to ANY disaster scenario and you will see an absolute hell in logistics. For gas stations or grocery stores to stock up, they have to deal with disaster circumstances. This is already majorly expensive, just in transportation costs. Companies are put under heavy stress in order to meet a sudden massive spike in demand in certian areas. Their costs rise across the board in order to continue support in areas suddenly filled with people. Then, the consumers are now in a much more precarious situation where they now desperately desire fuel. They are far more willing to pay than they were prior, and their situation almost compels them to do so. Therefore, their maximal range on the price of those goods is drastically increased. Both parties are still profiting from the exchange based upon their subjective values of the goods being traded for. Otherwise, the trade simply wouldn't happen. Supply and demand, dipshit.

The fact of the matter is that these people shouldn't have listened to thier retarded mayor and should have gotten out or at least prepared before hand.

It's not the responsibility of a business owner to suddenly become a charity.

>>139420305
Thought I'm sure someone already pointed it out or mentioned it, but there is a 1-800 number to report price gouging, and it's illegal for supermarkets or any company to raise their prices like this during times of crisis or disaster. The company can easily get in trouble for doing this, also a lot of these pictures went viral and hundreds to thousands of people reported these places to the appropriate authorities. I'm sure they're going to get some kind of punishment for it.

>>139439071
Sale limit is still not as effective as price gouging, anyone will buy the goods for literally no reason other than just to have them "in case"

No supposed social incentive will ever efficiently encourage economic behavior.
You'd either have to steal money from people in order to fund a central authority punishing voluntary exchange, and forcefully distribute goods how the authority deems "moral".
Or you would have the market reflect the real value of something when the demand goes up.
In a matter of crisis, there won't be any nice solutions, atleast not a working one. You can price fix, and appeal to people's emotions all you want, but as you just explained, the only "moral" solution would be expecting profit-seeking entites to act as "heroes", which is a dogshit incentive.
Believing in free-market economics only when it fits your own arbitrary value-judgement of good and bad is incoherent. Stealing from a and giving to b is not an act of charity, it's an act of aggression, one you deem legitimate because, again, of your own arbitrary value judgement.
What you're spouting is logically incoherent, and in line with marxist class-doctrine, albeit in a light sense. "Free markets are amoral, because sometimes the supply/demand ratio works against (insert marginalized group or class) therefore we need a tax-funded monopoly to fix it." There is nothing conservative about that.

The argument isn't about it's existence leaf. It's about the effect of it's existence in two polarized governing systems.

These high prices encourages bottled water from neighboring regions to pour in, no pun intended.

Force the prices low, and those in dire need of water will be left wanting.

Well then that one store can look forward to lots of business in the future while the ones that broke the law in Texas (and yes it is the law) can look forward to legal action and going out of business. Actions have consensuses, and the free market can punish as well as reward.

Any smart store would have looked at the disaster as a chance to clear out old stock and sell anything they could order quickly, make a profit and earn good will. The stupid ones that should be going out of business can look forward to some short term profit, then legal action and being run out of town for being assholes.

I feel no pity for these unprepared faggots getting gouged.

The prep for this should be annual, buying up a surplus of supplies like tinned food, bottled water and fuel as you enter the last month of summer (I do this every year late January/early February, burgers in Southern states do it late July/August). Even if a cyclone doesn't happen, you are still prepared if it does (and you will always get some pretty nasty tropical storms anyway which may cause loss of power, damaging winds and flooding). Don't be one of these faggots trying to buy up supplies in the days leading up to a cyclone, get everything you need two weeks from the start of cyclone season (AT THE ABSOLUTE LATEST).

Stores would love to put a million dollar price tag on their bottles of water but they don't because they wouldn't sell. Like it or not, the consumer sets the maximum price at sale not the seller. If people are willing to pay 20 dollars for a pack of bottled water then that's what the store will sell them at. What is supply and demand?

Houston is the 4th largest city in the USA, do you know what happens when you try to evacuate the 4th largest city in the USA? Traffic jams. No, even doing so over the course of a day or two or three would not work. Half of people who die during floods die in their vehicles, it's statistically more dangerous to be in a vehicle. Also, there is no knowing exactly what was going to happen and this just happened to be an EXCEPTIONALLY rare flood. You would not have evacuated unless you know that you were in a flood prone area, I didn't evacuate and had no issues at all.

I actively take on responsibility to work counter to bad governmental policy and practice, because that is my duty as an individual and American citizen who reaps the benefit of a system of liberty. I never said that I expected the government to fix itself, which is precisely what socialism/communism does.

Socialism is 100% historically proven to be a failure. The only socialism that exists in society exists because capitalism is there to make up for it. It is only a drain on society and contributes nothing, regardless of demographic.

The same evidence isn't there for the idea that all jews run everything and hate everyone and nothing can be done about it except launching autistic wars on shaky premises that ultimately fail.

At their core all exchanges are essentially bartering systems. All currency is is a universally accepted good for bartering. Someone would want something so they'd exchange gold/silver for it. Before switching to fiat, government currencies were essentially the same as bartering with gold/silver since you could redeem the currency for them.

I'd argue that this whole shitshow we're witnessing with people arguing about the fundamentals of economics was directly caused by the adoption of fiat currency, which is backed entirely by governments that people don't even trust in the first place.

Have you considered that Churchill was, in fact, wrong? Even if Hitler was justified in carrying out purges against Jews and other groups (which he may have been in the late 1930's, I don't actually know), he made so many boneheaded fucking mistakes that, even if he was right, he set the stage for the waters to be muddied to such an extent that almost a century later all we can do is speculate.

It's not enough to just be right; you also have to be effective. Hitler was not and his example should not be followed. He should have stuck with painting; and that's a favorable interpretation.

Contemporary pedohaters are by and large Moderns who swallowed the cultural Marxist pill without question and have been doing so since birth. These are really just people who blindly accept what I see to be the axioms of modern anti-pedoism; pedohebesexuality is necessarily centered on violence (hence the oft-repeated and patently absurd anti-pedoist motto that 'only adults can consent'), pedohebesexuality/pedoheberomance is abnormal (the coinage of the word 'pedophile' is a reflection of this; by reduction to *philos* contra *eros* the phenomenon is trivialised, rendered fetishistic, demeaned, pathologised, *etc.* (similar to the historically Marxist pathologisation implicit in the inception of the word 'racist')), *etc.* The campaign against what is know called 'pedophilia' has its roots in the Marxist-feminist campaign against man-girl relationships (as natural tokens of dominant patriarchal heterosexual institutions, whose very existence challenged and will always challenge cultural-Marxist progressivism) which saw a benchmark in the raising (close to doubling, in some instances) of the Age of Consent in the West. It was not your stereotypical Christian social conservatives responsible, but the progressives, for they have nothing to gain and plenty to lose from the continued existence of the traditional and naturally stable marriages which organically result (and historically resulted) from pedoheberomantic relationships.

The same Jewish revolutionary spirit which brought us degenerative cultural subversion in the West, made anti-nativist open-border policy fashionable and gave social and legal rights to all manner of abnormal, unnatural LGBTQ+ individuals and unions suppressed the most obvious token of traditional heterosexual romance. To reject Modernity is to reject anti-pedoist hysteria and to call it what it is, as we do with globalist immigration efforts and atheistic cultural subversion.

No, War didn't just "happen". WW2 was launched by Germany, largely with the equipment manufactured by assets that were liquidated by the state. The Germans revitalized their economy by grabbing up industry and they gearing up for war.

To say that the war and NatSoc ideology weren't connected is retarded. The war was partially justified through not just NatSoc ideology, but central socialist control. The war was, of course, a failure and plunged Germany back into hard times and set a social tone that has led to Germany being as cucked as it is today.

Make no mistake, Hitler and the NatSocs of the 1930/40s are partially to blame for the current state of Europe.

Except that he didn't save anything. Socialism was only a bandaid solution, at best; just like it is anywhere it is established. Hitler may have pulled Germany out of a depression using highly totalitarian methods, and even that still saw plenty of misery to go around (food rationing, forced labor, etc).

I'm also not speaking in favor of bankers or usury (although modern NatSocs will be more than happy to put those words in my mouth), but you don't deal with those problems that way.
