Oh. Well, that is a little different.
Got a link?
As to people being expected to price gouge storm victims, I hope our society hasn't deteriorated to the point where dispicable acts like that are expected. Or even tolerated.
Makes me glad I live where I do though...neighbors still look out for neighbors in these parts. I've been on both ends of the equation myself. I've had, in the past year alone, over $300 in building materials donated by a neighbor across the road after we suffered some storm damage. I've had three different people do tractor work for me for free. Another neighbor has helped with several small but time consuming jobs, like some spot welding, wiring, plumbing, etc. And I've returned the favors as needed. A man down the road also burns wood in the winter, so we worked out a deal to help each other cut, haul, split and stack wood until we both felt like we had enough to get through. It's just what you do. We watch each other's kids when emergencies arise (or Mom and Dad just want a quiet night alone...). We feed each other's dogs when someone is on vacation. We help herd cattle if they get out, regardless of who they belong to. I've never accepted a red cent for any of it, and I've never paid for any of it either. It's called compassion.
God help us as a society when we lose that.
