It is not unethical to sell your product for the highest price possible.
It is if people are going hungry or out of business because of it.
I don't believe that the price is anywhere near as high as it could
actually go before the people doing the complaining
start to think about conservation.
Don't think about recreationalists, think about FBOs, flight instructors,
charter services, independent truckers, couriers, farmers and everybody
else who is suffering because people still make excuses for record
profits.
BTW, I suspect that if you had your own business you would sell your
products at the highest price possible too.
Is that what Jesus would do? I wouldn't do it if I was making billions
while my neighbors and my nation suffered.
YOUR NATION ISN'T SUFFERING!
Some people are suffering, other's aren't. If everyone had a "Mr. Fusion"
powering their cars and planes tomorrow, would that be a good thing? Think
of all the suffering of the gas station owner, FBO, etc. There are always
winners and losers. Any system that attempts to make sure there aren't
losers, keeps other people from being winners. And the funny thing under
such systems, is that even in an absence of winners, there will still be
losers.
