Elizabeth Warren on CNN: “We have too many corporations doing too much profit gathering…”

Got that?Profits are a bad thing.

" Uh no,profits are a good thing"-Every business owner everywhere,

So you're arguing that free competition is a bad thing, and the fact that a handful of companies own the majority of our economy is good?

Sorry, monopolies are bad. Capitalism can only work with free market competition. Elizabeth is 100% right about that and you're too lazy to try to make a counter argument.

Examples of price gauging during emergencies and disasters.

Examples of Price Gouging

In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in 2005, a Florida man was charged with price gouging for selling generators to an area that was out of power. After renting a truck to drive up to North...

Profit is fine. Price gouging is a crime, both legally and morally.

Profit is fine. Price gouging is a crime, both legally and morally.

Unless an American hospital does it to a sick or injured person. Then the left has no problem with price gouging.

The left wants universal healthcare, the right wants healthcare to be only for the rich who can afford it. Don't pretend you care about increasing access to healthcare, every policy and politician you support says otherwise.

Well that's a straight up lie.

 

[aociswundumho]

Drastically increasing the demand for healthcare means prices would go up, not down.

Profit is fine. Price gouging is a crime, both legally and morally.

Maybe legally, certainly not morally (not that morality is a crime). Price gouging is actually a good thing as it prevents scarcity.

 

[Blue Dog]

There is a difference between making profits and price gouging.

 

[RabidAlpaca]

Drastically increasing the demand for healthcare means prices would go up, not down.

No UHC country on the planet pays anywhere near as much as the US does per capita, and many rank higher in quality of care and healthcare outcomes. You vote for people who want poor people who can't afford to see a doctor to just die. Stop pretending you want to increase access to healthcare, you don't.

 

[Lovebug]

So price gouging is a good thing?

Of course. We all want to pay more for stuff we need.

There is a difference between making profits and price gouging.

Only political. Profit - ok. More profit than I think you should have - bad.

There is a difference between making profits and price gouging.

And who is price gouging?

By definition, “price gouging” is a bad thing.

Show us real, hard documented proof that price gouging is going on right now.

That's not proof of price gouging.

 

[Dans La Lune]

That's not proof of price gouging.

It's actually the definition of price gouging.

 

[Loulit01]

That's not proof of price gouging.

What, exactly, would you consider proof of price gouging?
