What are your thoughts on dynamic pricing and its impact?

Well, since in many instances, pretty much everyone often does the same thing, the same way, at the same time, this practice is apparently designed to both alleviate some of it, as well as to demand a premium for doing it at the same time as most other people. If I want to fly from, say, New York City in mid January to a tropical vacation spot on a Friday, and return the following Monday, the airline is going to charge me more than if I did it from Monday through Thursday in July, for example. Saying 'Capitalism sucks', as some respondents will inevitably do, is intellectually lazy, in my opinion.

It's basically theft by another name.

Too right 👍

That is stupid. Imagine i am filling my gas tank and as i fill it the price changes!

Crazy! Like saying "okay your first 2 gallons were 4$ but then the price went down. Aren't you happy?".

Or i chose the cat food that was cheaper but while i am waiting on line to pay they raise the price!

Then they scan it "okay 20 bucks." But i only agreed to buy it because it was cheaper. Stupid.

as I've told a few people before...

globalization > consumerism > exploitation

the USA has turned against its own people... lol

Just a reality. If you are a smart consumer like you try to wait until yhe price drops.

It is a ripoff.

That's capitalism for you...

I think it's mostly hype and fearmongering.
