Horie’s words are as provocative as ever, but I don’t think reselling is bad either.
If reselling is bad to begin with,
then the same goes for stocks and art.
Working between supply and demand to make a profit is
natural in capitalism.
The issue is “how” and “moderation.”
It’s not good when things don’t reach those who need them.
Those who hoarded masks during the coronavirus pandemic and resold them,
or those who hoarded water and inflated prices during the earthquake.
Of course, this is not a crime.
But this is too ugly to be called economic activity.
In the end,
the question is whether or not you want to make money even if it means doing things in an ugly way.
Some people work with an aesthetic sense,
while others only pursue profit.
That’s why opinions are divided.
The world is not filled with good people,
and good people are not always rewarded.
Good and evil, strength and weakness, are easily changed,
and change depending on perspective and the times.
That’s what makes the business world so interesting.
Well,
I think these kinds of issues require calmly interpreting both sides’ arguments,
and it’s a matter of personal strength and judgment.
