It’s not price gouging, there’s no coca cola shortage and it’s not a necessary for life good. You’re acting like you can’t just stop buying it
And yes, the price people willing to pay for some goods is a reasonable price for them, unless it’s some necessity or it’s some disaster area. If it was unreasonable, people wouldn’t pay that price. Especially for something like coca cola
Sorry… how is a price increase that is not justified by inflation not price gouging?
Price gouging has nothing to do with what is necessary and Coca-Cola is being used as an example. I’m not why you think this is singly about coca-cola.
No, just a new type.
How is it a new type? What’s new?
Getting away with price gouging is new.
So the greed is constant, but the market let companies raise prices.
The market gave them an excuse to raise prices.
You don’t have to take my word for it.
