I didn't say he did that, I was using it as an example. He actually loaded up with water, food, clothes, and stuff that was all donated by his church. It's amazing what can be done when the government doesn't have their bull [BLEEP] in the way. 

And it's also interesting that you guys think Home Depot would just start pulling stuff off the shelves in northern states to move it to south Florida. More expense for less profit isn't how big corporations run.

Let's try a simpler example. My family is having a holiday at Disney for Labor Day weekend and I want to stay the entire week. The cost of my room is $185 per night for Friday through Tuesday. On Wednesday the price for my room jumps to $485 per night because a convention starts on Thursday going through the weekend after Labor Day. I really wanted to stay the entire week but Disney raised the price almost 275% so I have to leave Wednesday morning. Why shouldn't the government make them sell me the room for $185 instead of price gouging us? It's just not fair.
