Yes! And if you think that’s evil, wait til you find out about dynamic pricing;

Charge people differently; setting the price to the maximum that each can handle…

That is at the core of modern capitalism; maximizing profits. yes it is too bad so sad that some people die; they should have worked harder to have gotten better jobs

Charging wealthier people higher prices and subsiding the less wealthy sounds great! I figure that with the profit motive, it’s all gone to shit though.

It would be great IF it were used to subsidize; but no.

“Flog that profit margin harder for Daddy!”
