"Reasonable people, of course, have little problem with immigrants who come to the US and build up businesses through investment and hard work." I dont believe this is price gouging, if people are willing to buy at that price. If you dont like the price, you can drive 100 miles away and buy gasoline elsewhere for the price you like.

Then you don't believe in the idea of price gouging (neither do I), because that's pretty much the textbook example.

There are times I dont agree with it, but the market dictate the price. I remember there was this huge storm, lots of trees fell. Tree trimming prices increased, there was a mad scramble to get people to do the job. I dont think that is bad, the people that wanted their trees off their houses paid more.

Exactly. It's fine to have personal judgements about how people conduct their business, but it is their business, not ours.

Not really. Society today has gotten so soft. Complain on the internet and let the mob take care of it.
