  I guess? I always just assume that’s what’s going on all the time. But there’s also people that are going to be massively hyperbolic like yourself too, which I also assume is going on all the time. Everyone is just trying to get money.

  Also I wouldn’t call this software sophisticated at all, its pretty rudimentary. It’s just comparing numbers and adjusting them by an offset. They also stopped using it, I assume because it wasn’t sophisticated enough to account for the myriad of market forces at play.

  It’s literally anyone’s business model in a capitalistic market, it’s hilarious that people are shocked and offended

  Most people don’t know how retail pricing works, so when they read an article like this, they’re shocked and offended

  How is saying they just assumed they weren’t trans an anti-LGBTQ statement?
