A piece about the justice and benefits of profiteering from the misfortunes of others,
In Praise of Price Gouging, by John Stossel, contains the remarkable sentence (about a bottle of drinking water):
By charging $20, the price gouger makes sure his water goes to those who really need it.
To my knowledge this is the first appearance of the verb “to need” meaning “to have sufficient money”.
