Today kids, we learn that price fixing is totally awesome and is a benefit to humanity. If only all corporations were nice enough to fix prices, selling things for lessmaking themselves much more money and costing the customers more--no more obsession over using competition to lower raise prices!
It's amazing how these people have never even heard of it and they immediately, without doing any research at all, feel that they can freely comment on how awesome it is. It's a federal felony--meaning that you can go to federal prison for doing it. It's considered on the level of seriousness as other forms of trusts (big big monopolies like standard oil) manipulating markets.
But yeah-lololol it's an awesome thing.
Prediction: no matter what I say or what information I give, all the peons in this community will automatically praise price fixing, despite never knowing about it until now.
So
here's a summary.
EDIT: tomecatti, who never passed first grade math, now thinks that price fixing "in this case" will save customers money. By their own admittance, the vendors are fixing prices to increase their profits. He is stating: more money given to vendors = less money spent by customers.
I thought about it, because sometimes I can decode stupidese, and I realized that he was doing this: "well because their prices are still fixed lower than what they are at a completely different location, the customers at THIS location, shopping at THIS location save money." Of course, he's too dumb to realize how that doesn't add up and that if they combined both locations, then the price fixers would be forced to increase their price to at least retail.
