Would you say the same thing to the elderly who only make it to the store just to buy a handful of items and don't do online shopping, only to find out it was these profiteers who snatched everything up?
Those elderly people who grew up under US capitalism have seen profiteers like Mr. Fucktard before, and know a level of profiteering has existed their whole life, it's the Horatio Alger rags to riches myth of America.
That is a truism that a cold blooded entrepreneur can grasp the path earlier than others and get rich off the slower to react. As Maggit said, capitalism at it's best.
It's also only when the profiteering is so extreme during emergencies that .gov steps in, OTHERWISE, its American business as usual.
And Karma is a bitch to those profiteers after.
In our free will free society, where profiteers and criminals can victimize anybody, elder not being a singular category, it is one of the duties of every free person to be aware and on guard against such, and make the right life choices and decisions that help them be less of a victim to predators.
Where is it written that free people in a free society owe less adroit free people anything when the less adroit make less than good choices.
Christian belief free people willingly sacrifice some things to the less adroit because of the Christian beliefs.
The law of the jungle is not Christian. The strongest dominate the weak and feed on them.
Pure capitalism is the law of the jungle to the capitalist who wants to get as much ad they can, by all legalese means.
Criminal capitalism is the law of the jungle "by ANY means".
Free people survivalists take care of themselves and theirs first.
Elderly and children of their clan are taken care of.
Elderly and children not of their clan or kind, are on their own. That's lifes harsh reality.
It is easy to speak a platitude of service to elderly or children, but much much much harder for it to be your daily life action, witnessed by the poverty levels in ethnic suburbia and ethnic Appalachia,
In an approaching emergency as we see coming, how much of YOUR lifes received benefits are you willing to give to the ethnic suburbia elderly who have either made poor life decisions, have chosen governmental dependence, or have been slow to recognize and respond...
Versus taking care of you and yours. Sink or swim.
The majority of us ARE NOT Mr. Fucktard Profiteer, nor whining bitch enough to complain a business wont let us profiteer.
But neither are we altruistic to the degree of doing without "for the elderly or children" if it really screws up our comfort zones.
Just how wrong was Maggit when he said, capitalism at it's best homie.... it's the system most of us here know intimately because it has affected us all at some point.
Life can really be tough on people who fail to grasp the above and dont try to prepare for it, dependent on the good in others to carry them through.
I will admit that I really like reading the coming, but not soon enough, obituary of Mr. Fucktard Profiteer.
A painful debilitating pox to him !
