Who in their right mind will sell it cheaper than the competitors?

[–] Telodzrum@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Anyone that wants to make sales? The entire concept of a market involves price competition.

Someone who's not an asshole. Also, if you sold it for cheaper you'd make bank because everyone would buy from you instead of your asshole competitors.

That's not how capitalism works. What will happen in this case, bigger players that don't want to lower their prices will run you out of business using a bunch of dirty tactics, bankrupt you twice over, and continue selling shit for as much as they can get away with.
Capitalism might be a good idea on paper, but this naive shit never actually works on practice, every time they build it, instead of self-regulating free market working for people, it devolves into this hell where practically monopolies divide the market and squeese everyone dry

I never said that was how capitalism worked. Nothing in this comment contradicts anything I said.

It kind of looks like you didn't understand my response. Do you want me to simplify it for you, or do you want to give it another pass?

It sounds like you didn't understand mine. Instead of insulting me do you want to fuck off?

"No u" is always a good response. No need for any of that pesky thinking, effectiveness through the roof
