Your argument though is based on price fixing which is illegal So regulations are okay when they help your position? I thought that this free market was supposed to be self regulating and self sustained? In a truly free market, price fixing would be far preferable to suppliers than equilibrium. Equilibrium is great for consumers, not so much the sellers. Only with inelastic products. Internet is elastic Almost everyone wants the internet and will pay whatever they have to So you agree that they should be able to charge whatever people are willing to pay? People would pay an arm and a leg for electricity if they had to. They'd pay an arm and a leg for access to clean drinkable water. Do you think it would be okay if in America those industries were monopolized, and allowed to charge absurd prices because it's a necessity? While also prioritizing people who pay more. Or how about if every pharmaceutical company Martin Shkreli'd every drug and treatment on the market for life threatening conditions because they know people will pay whatever they have to in order to survive? I mean, free market, am I right? --- "You need to lay off the peanut-butthurt and u-jelly sandwiches" - Neon Octopus <cite>Gamer99z posted [p:890940199] in Net neutra...
