In January: It's not price gouging, it's just "normal economics"
Today: Profits up 718% last quarter
@rbreich capitalism is a free market where companies can set prices according to supply and demand, can we agree on that? So instead of posting inflammatory statements calling out companies for doing what they were designed to do (make the most money possible) can you be constructive and ask for government regulation of prices or monopolies? Saying "this rude business tried too hard to make money" over and over again is not going to help us.
@jonahbk @rbreich my point is you keep saying you want to break up monopolies and that prices are dictated by supply and demand, but you don't address the actual problem which is *already very illegal*: cartels. It's not that it needs to be *more illegal*, it needs to be investigated and prosecuted.
@lavahot No, not a fan of cartels or unregulated capitalism. Which is more wilfully ignorant, @rbreich complaining that companies trying to make money are greedy and mean, or me pointing out that the government has the power to to break up monopolies and regulate prices of essential goods?
