One cannot use crisis and demand as an excuse for free market or lack of human decency. Not only hand sanitizers are in high demand. Medical doctors and stuff, researchers - they are all in high demand. Do they charge extra in these high then usual demand situations? Imagine what the world would look like if people and services that we depend on immensely would price up just for greed and opportunity that market is giving them.

Please forgive my rant! Who are the heroes now, doctors, the immigrant worker picking you food, the cashiers at membership stores? The NBA, NHL, FIFA, etcetera (mind you these are nonprofits) aren't stepping up to help "the people in the frontlines!" Profits over our planet. Omg! don't get me started with the greedy CEOs who can literally wipe themselves with billions of dollars of toilet paper! And adding insult to injury asking the public to donate! I am tired of the bull, I am sad for the human race.
