    It’s not about a fair price. It’s “what the market will support.”

    The reason they can charge $15 for a big mac is because people are still buying them at that price.

      The greatest lie the devil ever told is that ammoral is not immoral. profit seeking behavior is quite immoral and should be classified as a disease.

        It’s not “immoral”. It’s just a crappy burger. You can go years or decades without eating one, believe me.
