    If you’re going to post so many comments, at least read the chain. Otherwise someone might mistake you for a troll.

      I mean I am the chain, I’m asking you what the fuck you’re talking about and you’re really bad at having clear ideas

        Oh, perfect recall then? In that case you know exactly where in your line of 5 year old style questioning that slavery was mentioned.

            That is not the Socratic method. Questioning how the CEO of a corporation has control over pricing is just trolling.

              No, I’m asking you to explain why you think prices are arbitrary in contravention of essential economics.

                Oh you see, you could have asked that way up there. And I’d tell you that you’re operating from a flawed premise. Economics actually talks quite a lot about monopoly power and rent seeking.

                  I did.

                  Do you? This is the first you’ve mentioned either. What’s the “monopoly” in the situation we’re discussing?

                    No you asked why hadn’t they raised prices before. And I was nice enough to let the flawed premise pass, (they have raised them before, they’d be out of business if they hadn’t) and give you the layman’s answer to your layman’s question.

                    Now you want to say it meant something else, something the English you wrote doesn’t support.

                    No.
