  • If a company can make a change to make more money, and they think they can get away with it, they’ll always make that change. Shit, there’s an article about Warren getting angry about digital price takes Kroger is looking at using. Their plan is to start with it to dynamically change prices of products depending on things like weather, I.E., heat wave, increase price of ice cream and ice.

    They also planned to use cameras and facial recognition to analyze customers, figure out gender, age, etc, then build profiles on individual customers and how much of a price hike they could stomach and dynamically price per customer.

    I mean, that’s like cartoonishly evil behavior, but they’re willing to try it if it means more money. So of course companies across the U.S. increased prices under the guise of inflation, because infinite growth is the expectation, never too much money right? Law makers will need to step in to curb some of the worst examples of all of t his greedflation.
