charging high prices for the Superbowl is wonderful<\/a>, helps the local economy.<\/p>\nHerein the problem with ascribing morality to mathematics.<\/p>\n
What really grinds me about the hurricane article is the self-absorbed arrogance of the writer.\u00a0 It demonstrates the stunning disconnect between the leftist media and the real world.\u00a0 They have the audacity to write this article about a TV crew being gouged while sucking up scarce resources (hotel space, food, water, gasoline) so the TV crew can document the misery of the locals which the TV crew will use, not to alleviate the misery, but to increase ratings which will enable the TV station to sell more advertising at higher prices and thereby earn a larger profit.\u00a0 If anybody is engaging in exploitation, it\u2019s the media.<\/p>\n
The TV crew should be charged a 1000% markup, or more.\u00a0 It’s a public service to do so.\u00a0 A natural disaster is a limited opportunity to charge high prices to outsiders who are carpet-bagging their way into the region.\u00a0 It’s an opportunity to take from the vultures to support the local economy that is in turmoil.\u00a0 They should be happy to pay for a better Houston.<\/p>\n
