That is addressing a different point. The comment I was responding to claimed people were upset that companies are making a profit. I countered that profit is OK, profiteering is what has people irate.

What is the ideal pricing to achieve long term goals wasn't something I was addressing.

And MattGaiser's point is that the line between profit and profiteering is vague. The claim is that by saying no to vague "profiteering", we have at least discouraged some of the morally healthy profit that would've encouraged otherwise inefficient production.
