    That is what capitalism was supposed to be, yet, here we are. I want what you say, but that is wishful thinking at this point. Unless some weird company or individual with unlimited funds decides at some point to do just that, which would make all other businesses rethink their ways because every client would be jumping ship, I honestly don’t see that happening in oír lifetime.

      capitalism has had some examples of lowering costs in many sectors but also had increasing costs in other sectors. it isn’t always an increase though.

        Yeah, I can see how that’s a fact. I guess that the bad parts of anything are generally louder than the good ones, which would have your comment make sense. But also, there is no denying that the bad parts are way more prevalent than the good ones as well.

        So in this context, yes, there are some sectors and industries in which costs have decreased, but the vast majority have increased, and most of those will just keep climbing, at least that’s how I see it.
