Good morning, fellas.

Morning, Uncle Tony.

Survived another weekend. Hoping to get some rest today.

Good to get back to work?

Let's just say weekends are not what everyone finds them cracked up to be.

Weekends are generally great, but sometimes it's nice to get back into the office on Monday morning.

Sounds like Flo has been whispering sweet nothings into your ear.

Yeah, and those sweet nothings sound like kids not whining and bitching.

They are pre-teen and female.  You ain't seen nothing yet!  Maybe better plan on taking a second job for the escape you'll need.

And their mom... What's her excuse?

Well, she no longer has a uterus, so I know it's not time of the month-type issues. Though, she IS still a woman, so... 

Force of habit.

Refugee staying here over the weekend was checking pipit and a asked him if he was going to be able to get home to League City and he said no but the hotel wanted to jack the rate to $250/night which is double the average norm.

Nothing like a horrific natural disaster to bring out the bastard in lots of people.

You have so little faith in capitalism. What's supposed to happen is price gouging, which attracts clever people who want to make money by providing cheaper options.

Alas, no politician ever benefitted from promoting free markets.

There's a law against that in this state in these situations.  https://www.texasattorneygeneral.gov/cpd/price-gouging

But nothing against it in safer times...

Yeah, but even if that were to happen (which doesn't ever happen, as I'm sure you're aware), the limited options of whatever it is (hotel rooms, bottles of water, etc) will go quickly, leaving the rest of the people paying the gouged price, which is just wrong.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not Rick Perry, so I DO understand how supply and demand works, but that doesn't make it right, IMFO.

I was referring to mine but the woman part still applies.

It does happen, a lot. But people bought into the notion that government does it better. Did they do it better during Katrina? No. Sandy? No. So what makes us think they'll do it better now?

There's a law...so that will mean those folks lucky enough to have shelter won't get gouged. But there's no real motivation for any company to pour money into the area - because government will do it. So government will pour money in, and they'll screw it up, and those hotel owners will just sit back and collect the restricted rent without any incentive to do anything further.
