When you say "wrong," what do you mean? Are you arguing that their actions are morally just, or merely not too illegal?

Capitalism violently forces people to serve capital for food, shelter, and other basic human needs.

This situation is slightly worse than usual.

I'm questioning whether they did anything illegal. It's quite obvious (to me, at least) that what they did is morally wrong

"Wrong" is certainly the wrong word, then.

Price gouging does run counter to some states' consumer protection laws.
