During one of the major hurricanes a few years ago I seriously considered loading my truck up with a thousand bottles of water and driving 1200+ mikes to bring them to the devastated area. I would have needed to charge $10 per bottle to make it worth my while.
I gave up on the idea when I learned that I could be prosecuted for “price gouging.”
How did that stupid law work out for ANYONE in that particular scenario?

If that’s what you figured, then driving from 1200 miles away was too far for the amount that you could haul.
