Interesting. "Dynamic pricing" in hospitality gets grumbled about all the time, but is scarcely challenged seriously under everyday business conditions. Then exactly the same practice, applied during a national emergency, is condemned as scandalous when an already scarce resource is put beyond the reach of many people whose lives andcwell being may depend upon it. Perhaps business licences for accommodation should be issued with conditions attached for the public interest.
