Butcher: So go across the street.
Shopper: They don't have any.
Butcher: If I didn't have any, I'd charge you four!

The Anti-Price-Gouging Cops Are on Patrol in Florida
In memory of the great comedian Myron Cohen:
I don't know who Myron Cohen is, but that's pretty funny.
ReplyDeleteGreat Jewish comedian from the '50s and '60s.
ReplyDeleteSheldon, whenever there is an emergency and there are news of price controls, I tend to blame the victim. I mean, that's exactly what they want. They have to endure the bad consequences of their choice of allowing Government to satisfy their wrong economic insight that says it is a bad thing to raise prices as demand raises.
ReplyDeleteAm I wrong in blaming the victim in these situations?
