"firms reacting normally" according to who?
I'd expect decent firms to not try to gouge customers who are already hurting at the time when they most are, but maybe "normal" means "sociopathic" in the context of amoral unrestricted capitalism
I don't deny that corporations will try to make a buck taking advantage of favorable price-over-volume plays when they can, but I think it's crazy that people think during a global energy and fertilizer shortage Walmart just decided to throw out all of their low-price volume corporate strategy just to screw customers over egg prices.
