    I mean, for the DEI crowd, I’d be willing to bet the people getting the price increases are Asians and White people. So there’s that.

      That might be true because they have more money. But generally poor people are charged more because they are weaker and much less able to fight price gouging. This profit maximizing is what makes capitalism so efficient.

      Do all you 'publicans share the same braincell, or do you just collectively turn them all off until a Fox anchor starts talking?

        The latter. They’re too stupid to spin this on their own so they need to wait until they get fed their “explanation” by their handlers.

        What makes you think I’m republican? I think I’ve voted R once back in my teenage years, but I’m pretty solidly left.

        Do you guys all share the same braincell? I guess when someone doesn’t fall 100% in line with the hive-mind, then they must be “the enemy” right?

        This is why I can’t ever solidly call myself ‘progressive’ or ‘left’ - because the moment I say anything that doesn’t fit the narrative I’m immediately pounced on as “Republican”.

        Sorry - but DEI is almost always racial discrimination no matter how you look at it. That’s what this article is about - I was merely pointing out people who approve of DEI efforts might not be so outraged if they look at it in terms of equalizing the playing field; as white and asian people are likely the ones being price gouged.

        And in a way - that could help lower income folks afford the same things; as lower base prices could be achieved. It’s racist as fuck, but it’s highly likely that is exactly what they’re doing. AI’s all over the world have “classified” white people as higher earners, etc.

        But hey - don’t think. Just regurgitate the same shit, every time someone steps out of line. I’m sure that will help your cause.

            Good talk, good talk. At least you’ve shown that you’re not willing to discuss this in good faith. That’s all I needed. I don’t mind the downvotes when I can at least determine that they are just following the crowd. I really don’t care about BlueMAGA

              You claim to be looking for a good faith argument but you’ll only respond to the poster being hostile to you. The cognitive dissonance is about expected, but no one is stopping you from claiming this hill of assumptions as your moral highground.

                Because I don’t have the personal time to refute every individual piece of bullshit? I just picked the one that was highest upvoted - given that it seems most people agreed with that stance.

                I’m more than happy to engage with you if you’d like to actually discuss this in good faith.

                  You don’t owe them your attention. Those people with the hair triggers are not trying to improve anything so your words will be lost on them. They want dominance, not sharing.

      Yeah but the poor are more desperate, there’s less money to squeeze out of them but its a lot easier to do so because they can’t just not eat

      You braindeads are so incredibly stupid. It actually hurts to read the stuff that comes out of your parrot hole.

      What assumptions and logic would lead to that conclusion?
