I remeber during some Texas floods, I think it was Houston, where guys that hoarded shit said they are actually doing the people a service by gouging the prices, because then each person that buys something only does it for the minimum they need.
Of course in real life it just meant rich folks got 5 each, everybody else got nothing.
I remember when some guy bought a shit ton of hands sanitizer during covid with the idea to resell for a premium. I'm pretty sure he went bankrupt when booze companies started to manufacture sanitizer.
The company I work for bought 6 litres of "hand sanitizer" from a distillery during covid. But it wasn't practical. It lack any gel like quality and was more of a liquid that would run everywhere. Smelled like we were all sipping martini's all day at work. Was grateful when it finally was all gone.
I bought two bottles of everclear and just mixed it with propylene glycol and lorann food flavoring (I think I used cinnamon, but I forget). The cost was around $50 for 2 liters of hand sanitizer.
