  • Under capitalism it’s always been the case of"what is this worth to you". The difference is in the past if a company overcharges then a competitor could come along and undercut them (so long as the gap was big enough that it made financial sense).

    Unfortunately, monopolies, regulatory/government capture, vertical integration, marketing and cartels have gotten so far out of control that consumers are left with little choice but to suck it up. And most governments in the Anglosphere don’t really care.

    True, for me it also depends on how the Burger is constructed. Often the lettuce is put on the bottom, I want to get straight to the meat and not have the taste masked by lettuce. But it depends on the burger.

    Pretty much bang on, the RBA has essentially one tool at their disposal. Even if their decisions are perfect, poor fiscal policy will damage the economy and the RBA can at most put a bandaid on those wounds.
