minus-squarecrashfrog@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down2·5 days agoI 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
minus-squareMaggoty@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down1·5 days agoOh, perfect recall then? In that case you know exactly where in your line of 5 year old style questioning that slavery was mentioned.

minus-squareMaggoty@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down1·5 days agoThat is not the Socratic method. Questioning how the CEO of a corporation has control over pricing is just trolling.
minus-squarecrashfrog@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down3·5 days agoNo, I’m asking you to explain why you think prices are arbitrary in contravention of essential economics.
minus-squareMaggoty@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·5 days agoOh 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.

Economics actually talks quite a lot about monopoly power and rent seeking. Do you? This is the first you’ve mentioned either. What’s the “monopoly” in the situation we’re discussing?
