Consumer, we have detected that you are above the poverty line. The 99¢ price printed on this Arizona tea can only applies to those below the poverty line. Your total comes to $3.67. (lemmy.world)

You know a much better way to do this? Government oversight on pricing of staples to prevent shit like $4 cartons of eggs and $5 sticks of butter like we had in 2022/23

Stop these companies from gouging us on products we need by making it impossible for them to get away with it.

I used to pay 3.99 for butter. Canadian.

Yeah and I used to pay 50¢ for a dozen eggs, and that was not that long ago. 2010ish.

When I went to Chicago in 2016 eggs were 99 cents a dozen.
