So, the intrepid folks of OK state government are out on patrol. Be warned! If you try to sell stuff that people need, especially if they REALLY REALLY need it, you will likely be arrested.
OK Gov announces price gouging enforcement.
I wish that the OK legislature could watch this short video:
On the other hand, to be fair, it wouldn't matter. Price-gouging laws are extremely popular among voters. To paraphrase H.L. Mencken, voters want price justice, and it is the job of government to give it to 'em, good and hard.
With thanks to Chris Zorn...
UPDATE: Note that the authorities are careful to muddy the waters, conflating price-gouging and fraud. Fraud is a problem, fraud is illegal. It is COMPLETELY different from price-gouging.
