minus-square14th_cylon@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down6·8 months ago Disappointment is not anger. it is, just camouflaged. prices going up 99% would result in “them” having ~0,2%, instead of the 0,1% they had before. so, you see, your joke, where you tried to pass the expense of the bribe onto customer, doesn’t work, before your math is way off.
