    how the fuck would that even work lol

    literal physical price tag in physical store
    neolibs: "uhhh the internet is gonna make this even more consistent, somehow"
    other neolibs: "uhhh the internet will never be more important than a fucking fax machine"

    seriously why are neolibs so fucking moronic. I can understand lying for your own benefit but several of these dumbasses ruined their reputations due to being high on their own supply

      Everyone thought the internet would make information more accessible and therefore people would be more informed but what it really does is make such an abundance of information accessible that is untrue that people are now less informed.

      With that said it's also producing places like this one so we'll see just how that plays out into the future I guess.

        I always look up prices for more expensive things when I'm in a store and will buy them online if they're cheaper.
