Dynamic pricing should be illegal. A price for a product should be the same for everyone and not dependant on their income, which smartphone brand they use or how much yoghurt they eat per day.

If corpos start dynamically charging for shit, im gonna start to dynamically disassemble they're stores with vodka, some paper and a lighter.

How do they know what my income is?

"If you're starving, we'll use an API with your bank to charge you $10 more than your entire net worth. In that moment we'll offer you a credit card with a 37% adjustable interest rate that only adjusts up to cover the overage (but credit card takes 6-8 business days to process, so you will go over). We'll then be left with no choice but to also process an overdraft fee on your bank account with daily penalties for the overage since you are being irresponsible.

And we'll use AI to generate a picture of everyone you love in a room laughing at you, because fuck you. By overdrafting, you triggered a clause in our user agreement (that you agreed to) which states that we can charge you whatever we think it's fair for that picture. The picture will then regenerate each month, indefinitely, on an auto subscription, unless you cancel by hand delivering a paper cancellation form to our cancellation office in Guam."

Are you saying products are not worth their price?

surprised pikachu

How would that even work though?

This sounds more like a shareholder soapy titwank than a real plan.

This sounds very illegal.

You know a much better way to do this? Government oversight on pricing of staples to prevent shit like $4 cartons of eggs and $5 sticks of butter like we had in 2022/23

Stop these companies from gouging us on products we need by making it impossible for them to get away with it.

greedy workers hoarding all their income

From each according to his ability, to each according to his need

sees title

So how many people are below the poverty line?

And now I'm stealing the product

Getting pretty sick of being bled dry by greedy wealth hoarders who have captured the regulatory system. Looking more and more like they WANT violence.

Now, if the extra paid were to go to help those less fortunate. To make the community better, etc. This may not be such a bad thing.

And if the "pay more" was based solely on how much money you have, not how much you're likely to want the thing being bought.

But capitalism has to capitalism and so the extra goes to rich assholes yacht and bunker funds.
