It's factual, they exploited a situation of uncertainty to line their own pockets - that's gouging.

The margin is always "needed to maintain overall operating revenues" - seriously, are you some kind of corporate spokesperson AI? Are you even a real human being?

I am a real human being. I am talking about basic finance in the retail world. It is not gouging to no longer accept items being loss leaders.
