huh?
There is gas in NJ. the problem is that that about 80% of the gas stations have tanks of gas but no electricity to pump it.
Tell me how a free market would change that?
If you allow price discovery, then entrepreneurs would find ways to deliver gas to the affected area. You would be buying gas out of the back of some guy's truck instead of at the limited number of retailers who have power. It might cost more, but you wouldn't be waiting 4 hours in a gas line like people are now. How much is four hours of your time worth?
Since the price of gas is being suppressed, there is no profit motive for go-getters.
.
yeah, because the state would have a way to chase guys selling gas out of the back of their trucks
you stick with that
The state should not be chasing them off. That's the whole point.
