TN AG orders brothers to cease; threatens prosecution
The Tennessee Attorney General’s Office has ordered Matt Colvin and Noah Colvin of Hixson, Tennessee to stop buying and selling medical goods and products following reports of possible price gouging while an investigation into their actions is underway.
“We will not tolerate price gouging in this time of exceptional need, and we will take aggressive action to stop it,” said Attorney General Herbert H. Slatery III.
Colvin pledges to donate goods to 'first responders and churches'
Right now, Matt Colvin's website says it says the hand sanitzer will be "donated to a local church and first responders."

HAPPENING NOW: Matt did not answer our calls so we went to his storage unit. The AG’s office was on the scene facilitating with the donation. This is the 3rd stop they’ve been to this morning to gather the sanitizer. @WRCB https://t.co/SLOaEwJLOj pic.twitter.com/REJPNhiSbS

To be fair, this is the entrepreneurial spirit we usually admire in the US. I mean, I’m not wrong.

I mean, you are, but ok
Do people realize that scrubbing your hands under running water for 30-40 seconds will do the job as well? Even the soap isn't that important for it.
Really? Go shit on your hand and run it under water for 30-40 seconds and then go eat a bowl of popcorn with said hand and not feel weird about it.
I think he meant hot water. And he’s not wrong. Risk is greatly reduced just from running water over bacteria or viruses. It’s not perfect, but it gets it off your skin, which is the point.
No, it doesn't get it off your skin actually. Soap and any detergent works because it disrupts the surface tension of the skin layer contaminants, which is what releases them to get washed off by the water. Soap also breaks apart lipid bilayers on the cell membranes of bacteria and envelopes of viruses, which water does not.
Ferris - that’s a new one for me.... I’ve taken a shit in one hand and put my wishes in the other to see which one filled up faster before but i didn’t go eating popcorn after the fact. Was I doing it wrong?
Is that why my wishes never came true?
What a complete jackass idiot.

He's doing nothing to rectify "inefficiencies in the market", he's merely exploiting them.
