The prices set on the unhampered market correspond to an equilibrium of demand and supply.

the owner is in the business of selling ads and classifieds subscriptions not guns and ammo. please enlighten me on why he should refuse the money of a "gouger" or better yet how the hell he would know such before hand to begin with. fact is if there are more of these "gougers" as you call them than there are crybabies about them why would he choose you over them?

Where did I say that he should? You are arguing against points that I have never made.

There is no economic difference between socialism and communism. Both terms, socialism and communism, denote the same system of society's economic organization, i.e., public control of all the means of production as distinct from private control of the means of production, namely capitalism.

it's exactly what you're doing. you want the owner to value your feelings over his money. which is probably why you haven't made any progress in your campaign

In that regard, some of us are bitching... that the place has gone downhill and that the "new normal" kinda sucks. I can admit it.

When a place like AO becomes the "deal of the day" over ODT... that's a sad day... haha

Nobody is telling the whiners they can't have a voice in the "market." I'm sure you'd be free to register a domain, create an online presence for posting screen shots, direct call-outs, gouger rants, etc., so that everyone on the innernet can see what a righteous and valiant defender of the uninitiated and newbs you all are.

Hell, Thomas might even sell you a sponsorship at the regular rates and you can whine in your banner ads.

For those missing the point of this thread in the pasture (and possibly taking it personally), I'm just doing some light reading.

The Anti-Capitalistic Mentality by Ludwig von Mises was published in 1956 and oddly still rings true today. You can get it on Amazon, or download it for free from here: https://mises.org/library/anti-capitalistic-mentality
