I just read John Stossel’s op-ed piece (“Price gouging needed after Hurricane Florence,” Wednesday Review-Journal), and he is so correct. If, after a natural disaster, the poor, or others, do not have bread or water and cannot afford it because of price gouging, they should simply eat cake and drink champagne.
