      They announced they will be switching to surge pricing. If there are a lot of people trying to get burgers, they’ll increase the price of burgers.

          No, but the floggings will increase.

        Fucking LOL. When are we going to start rioting against all this bullshit?

          Rioting won’t work, you talk with your money. The only thing capitalism cares about is your labor and consumption…that’s it.

        Let’s put “surge pricing” in quotes to make it clear that it’s some bullshit they just made up.

          Back in my day we called it price gauging. Not sure what this surge price bullshit is. They are trying to steal my nostalgic feeling for surge to make it ok?

            Ah, Surge…

            Wasn’t surge basically the diesel version of mountain dew? I vaguely remember trying it once and not caring for it.
