    We have a word for this, but some people are still afraid to use it.

      Asocial mental decline?

      Problematic economic hoarding?

      Acting like a fucking cunt?

      Honestly, could be any of these.

    I don’t think you understand. These poor companies are only doing what they must to provide excellent products and services to the masses. If you cannot afford them, simply stop being poor.

      Yeah that’s why companies keep getting a bigger piece of the pie. See also. And, you know, there’s all the price gouging and fixing. That aside, “basic economic factors” include corporate greed, since mainstream economic theory assumes that individuals are acting to maximize their own profits with perfect information and complete disregard for anyone but themselves. This describes most people badly, but it’s a decent fit for greedy assholes with access to resources. Think what this means for your average company.
