> As if being a landlord wasn’t easy enough just milking people they needed even more money by colluding?

"It's not enough for them to make a lot of money, they need to make ALL the money" (James Stephanie Sterling pretty much whenever a triple-A game company does something shady)

We just had a Bloomsburg story earlier showing how fast food companies are using apps and gathering data to make sure they don't "leave money on the table" by using differential pricing.

I don't have so much of a problem there. I can solve this by simply not eating fast food.

The problem is that I can't opt out of housing since these same assholes bought all of it up.

Differential pricing means different people get charged different amounts for the same things. It’s easy to wonder if this already happens on Amazon.

Like air travel and hotel rooms. Even market based approaches like eBay have different prices for the same things. I'm not for dynamic pricing but it's pretty common.
