They called what he did profiteering in WWII and it was a federal offense. And, according to the article, people still do. A friend mentioned a few days ago that Amazon is cracking down on people trying to sell masks and hand sanitizer for lunatic prices, and whattaya know, he's one of them. He excuses it as trying to give his family's finances a little boost, which is understandable, but given the amount he bought, and the prices he was going at? One could argue he made things worse by trying to rationalize greed. |

One thing I surely would not do is tell everyone I had done such a thing. I think that may well have the opposite effect of "taking care of his family." |

The schools in South Carolina will be shut down until the 31st of this month. I wonder what that means for my library system since we usually follow what the schools do when they shutdown for something.
