Which are reasons why "Price Gouging" can be a good thing?

High prices during a shortage/emergency discourages panic buying
It relies on market forces to ration something in short supply
It rewards people who made decisions that resulted in that supply
It motivates people to do things to create more supplies in a dangerous situation
It's their property.
If you outlaw excess profit, all supply will dry up.
Only the government should supply things in emergencies.
It rewards people who have money because they work hard.
It should be against the law to 'price gouge' in the stock market when prices go up
I don't own a business so I don't care.
