Yes! And if you think that’s evil, wait til you find out about dynamic pricing;
Charge people differently; setting the price to the maximum that each can handle…
That is at the core of modern capitalism; maximizing profits. yes it is too bad so sad that some people die; they should have worked harder to have gotten better jobs
Fucking surreal that people actually think like this.
Even worse it is allowed, and even celebrated.
Charging wealthier people higher prices and subsiding the less wealthy sounds great! I figure that with the profit motive, it's all gone to shit though.
It would be great IF it were used to subsidize; but no.
“Flog that profit margin harder for Daddy!”
