I think they should be allowed to do it. If we let them get away with it because the alternatives are worse then that's our own fault.

Hard to fault a business for realizing that they have a stupid amount of leverage because people have made themselves dependent on you and charging more.

What? If a business is causing a large negative externality, that's a bad thing.

Just because you can't "fault" people for pursuing profit doesn't mean they should be allowed to do it any way possible?

I just really don't understand this worldview.
