I understand the economic principles involved here and I like Mises. But we don’t have a free market. The comment section is just like “yeah you’re right and most people are dumb” (it’s r/austrian_economics). But how might our society not being a free market be relevant to price gouging related to hurricanes? Serious question that people may want to consider.
Also, as a side note, the OP says in comments:
I got banned in /unpopularopinion for stating the exact same thing. Apparently this take is so unpopular that I broke the rules.
I do sympathize with him on that point and think that sort of censorship is harmful and irrational.
