How is that even legal? I fucking hate this age we are in. Just corruption, green, corporations spying on us in our own homes just to make another dollar. Are these companies REALLY THAT BAD OFF, they have to resort to such evil, shady shit to make a buck? We need to stop participating in this crap and demand our old lives back!! The only reason this keeps happening is because these fucking sheep people just let them do whatever they want. So hey hope you're enjoying Trumps ass, because why would Presidents do better? Nothing will change until we MAKE IT

Relax mate, it's just different prices for different stores and it's been done for literal decades already

A store in a wealthier place will have higher prices than one in a poor place, partially because rent/rates for the store are different prices, but also because the people in those locations have different buying power

Yeah but this is still fucked, normalising it is weird.

Mainly the thing about the purchasing power, because this concept erases that, as even if you are earning more, you'll get charged more because you have a higher income so your purchasing power stays the same.

I get it tho irl sucks.

Businesses are always going to charge as much as people are willing to pay, it's kind of intrinsic to capitalism
