Sounds like a great idea to me. First, there's no real emergency - no one is dying - so you can choose whether to pay the inflated cost or not. Second, the normal low price of water is why those shelves emptied out so fast. If prices are in some balance with demand, then fewer people will overbuy, and more will be left for others. High prices act as a natural rationing method. Third, any knucklehead who pays that price deserves to be fleeced.

actually VERIFIED the prices they are alleged to have charged? Seems to me that so far all we have to go on is a tweet in response to a tweet from the local Fox station.
