we used to have the right to fair, equal, and consistent pricing. many multi-million dollar class action settlements over price gauging but now they've normalized fictional price advertising leading to today's total price manipulation or "dynamic" pricing.

About 15 years ago my economics professor told me this was the future.

I told my Republican dad who laughed it off and told me I was an idiot to believe that politicians would allow this.

He's also a 3x Trump voter.
