March 26, 2020 Price Gouging
Learning Target: I can understand that some businesses take advantage of situations that cause panic, so they increase the price to go with the demand in order to profit.
Warm Up: Directions: After looking at today's political cartoon students should ask themselves when it is alright to raise prices and when it isn't.
Political Cartoon: Don't think of it as Price Gouging...
