And that's what you get when you jack your prices up 5000%

see this is why capitalism is a good thing

Never thought otherwise. Just believe that people should be able to pass laws that keep him from doing it in the 1st place

I mean it's cool if everyone signs up and agrees not to do shit like that.

But if you're going to stick a gun in a business owner's face and tell him how much he can or can't charge for his product, you are, morally speaking, no better than a rapist.

What I'd suggest is take certain things that are necessities and limit how much you could hike the price. An AIDS drug at year 8 of its patent certainly falls in that category. The original manufacturer was making a profit at their price point. He saw them as undervalued and jacked it up 5000%. A 200% hike would be defendable. 5000%? Not as much.

So, pass a law saying that you can raise the price to be profitable, but keep it in reason. He was just being an asshat.

And now he got his.
