Let's try something...
• Turns on TV (after spending ten minutes looking for the remote, because I only ever use the TV for playing PS2 games).
• Hunts for an unfunny "comedy" show that needs a laugh track to demonstrate to people that it's supposed to be funny.
• Uses phone to record a few seconds of audio that contain the canned laughter.
• Uses ES file manager to transfer the laugh-track file to the server.
• Copies the file to a workstation.
• Opens the file in GoldWave, and cleans out anything that isn't canned laughter.
• Goes back to your message, reads it, and plays the laugh track.
Nope. Didn't work. Still didn't get a laugh out of me.

So I did this interview for Software Engineering position with a startup and apparently I did fine. Now they would like to move forward with the process and do the 2nd interview. 
Lately, I've been receiving so many rejections that I don't even know how to react to this news. Can someone please help?

Be happy, go there, do your best and go back home with peace of conscience
If they reject you afterwars and you know you are good, their loss. You will find another thing.

Reality check - maybe you need to improve your skills, or only apply for jobs that you're qualified for.

Second interview, same venue ...
New secretary? Beware the double application form. Since you filled out the first one ...
IF you have to go through that again, for instance, she hands you a form which you've already filled out, ask to see the first one and say "I have some information to add to it". IF it is the actual record (which is what you want really) ... take it and proceed to your seat to "fill it out/alter it".
Spill coffee on it and smudge chocolate bar (if you have one; consider THIS tip a warning). Go back and explain the problem and ask for a brand new application form.
Chances are you've got your original now plus a new form ... head for the in-door.
Leave. Run past security. Exit building.
Technically, you haven't been rejected and you've, for all intents and purposes, added to the list of things you've done, snatched your personal information from the talons of a bird who file-pads for a living and is now failing at her job. AND you can now deal with rejection and have something positive to think about ... why rejection can be so sweet!

For a contrary analysis, see this ZeroHedge article [^]
Then there's the old joke
- charging too little = unfair competition or dumping
- charging the same = collusion
- charging too much = price gouging

From the article: Over the next three days, Noah Colvin took a 1,300-mile road trip across Tennessee and into Kentucky, filling a U-Haul truck with thousands of bottles of hand sanitizer and thousands of packs of antibacterial wipes
That's the problem. They cleaned out an entire region of supplies that will help mitigate the spread of the virus. If you don't discourage these activities (especially on what is probably the most accessible market worldwide), it will incentivize more people to participate. More regions will be without needed supplies and the pandemic will be worse.
It's obvious why the pandemic would be worse locally since mitigation supplies aren't available. But there's also a secondary problem, which is that the spread would not be entirely local. If people around you are getting sick and you aren't symptomatic yet, you may very well travel in order to procure those supplies for yourself, further spreading the virus.

Ok. So stores should have multi-level pricing on any object that they start to have a run. First three bottles $2.99. Next 3 $30, greater than 6 - $300. Problem solved. But then everyone would scream price gouging by the stores when what in fact is happening is ensuring that runs don’t happen and everyone gets a chance to buy a reasonable amount. And people would still see the stores as the villains.
What Amazon has done is guarantee that anyone who does have a supply won’t be able to get rid of any of it so there will be an even smaller supply available to purchase.

That may be a good idea for the store. I wouldn't call that price gouging personally (more rationing). A version of this is done locally where I live with bottled water whenever there's a boil notice due to contamination or issues with turbidity.

This ignores the reason for that supply shortage - someone attempting to semi-monopolize a market during a crisis. Also consider, in this example, the person is indiscriminately selling the monopolized product without regard to region so the people in that region may have no supply available at all now for a unknown period of time. Amazon isn't shutting down legitimate sellers as far as I'm aware, just people attempting to do something that should honestly be illegal.

Your logic appears not to work in this universe, because:
• It's illegal.
• It wouldn't work, because people who want a quick buck would quite happily go through the store multiple times.
• It would actually encourage people to hoard the stuff, to sell it off when single packs run out (because they've bought them all to hoard them).

I supose that if he would have sold it at normal prices + a moderated profit, they would have not banned him.
Being a bastard and trying to do 1000% benefit abusing the system and harming others... needs to be banned (and as others said, publicy beaten)

Micro Center does this, at least when they put Raspberry Pi Zero W's on sale. Usually the first Pi Zero W is $5, up to 5 is $9.99 and over 5 is $14.99.

On the contrary. All of this overuse is going to prevent people from building up an immunity and so when things go back to normal they will be more susceptible, not less.
