Do you expect a rent seeker to provide you rent free service?
Not sure what you’re trying to say here
I'd try to help, but I'm not fully sure, either. Sorry!
Does a bear shit in the woods?
I believe they do, yes, but I’m not a bear shit professional
If bear shit, then we can assume a "capitalist" will rent seek every single time even during a disaster unless shamed by the public
Buddy this ain’t helping me at all
I will show myself out
It's shitfunny because this is a perfect opportunity for apps like this to play into Capitalism and succeed twentyfold.
Open up the app to everyone for free during the hurricane, remove that after hurricane. So many people will go:
- "OMG this app is useful, I'm paying"
- "OMG that company is so kind, I'm paying"
- "OMG I didn't even know about this but people spread the word, I'm paying!"
So many opportunities for longer-term profits missed by idiocy.
