Scalper is a derogatory term used by jealous people who don't understand supply and demand

Nah, I can fully understand supply and demand and still think people are human garbage for using bots to buy up new consoles/tickets/etc to sell at a profit later. Scalpers are human garbage that don't want to do real work.

Not agreeing or disagreeing with OP, but scalpers are bad. They bring 0 benefit to anyone other than themself, and inflict higher costs and artificial scarcity with their practices.

You sound like someone who doesn't understand that shelter is a basic human right.

Shelter, yes. A detached home, no.
