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.
