I'm never quite sure if your posts are meant to be informative, entertaining, explanative, or inquisitive.
If people are not paying $75 per gallon of hand sanitizer, then that isn't the market price. If people are paying it, then that's the market price. Nowhere does gouging factor into anything, because that's like asking where the tooth fairy factors into the exchange of a tooth under a pillow, for money.
Do what you will if you receive bulk hand sanitizer for free.
If it was worth my effort, I'd sell it. That said, plenty of stuff isn't worth my effort because people on platforms like OfferUp are the worst.
Probably if you gave it away for free, that person would just sell it for whatever the market price is; just like blood [s]donation[/] extraction.
Ethanol has got to cost somewhere around $2/gallon to produce considering we burn it in our vehicles for that price. Perhaps making it somewhat gelatinous increases the price a little.
I'm all for prisoners being put to work. You end up getting push back though because they displace labor that would otherwise be paid positions. The only jobs then are those that were priced out of the market by minimum wage laws.
