    A store comes out with a surge pricing scheme and suddenly the "public discourse" is that telling grocery stores what to do is communism.

    This is by design. This is PR to get ahead of the lawsuits coming.

        Fuckin hate the homework society libs. Instead of just doing things, you make people waste time with homework. Yes I can get groceries cheaper if I buy them at four different places. But that's a bullshit society.

          "homework society" is a great descriptor, I've always had trouble verbalizing why shit like this bugs me so much in a pithy way, I'm gonna use this

            Yeah. I mean, it's fundamentally the graeber bullshit, but I feel like homework also accurately describes it. 401k is another great example, where you're expected to become a market genius to maximize your retirement.
