This is the future we have brought :`)
Data analytics and JIT often leads to an invisible cost to the lower class.
I remember the days where my parents would go to the meat store and make some random thing off schedule. I remember when I was starting my career and would be able to make do with the 'use it now' discounted meats.
Now, not nearly so much.
The problem with these improvements is twofold:
- They impact impoverished people, which are more likely to be dependent on such discounted items.
- They 'hide' inflation cost.
- jmalicki 4y agoMonopolistic pricing and anticompetitiveness has little to do with JIT or data analytics
- bradknowles 4y agoI would disagree. JIT and data analytics make it a lot easier for the maximalist market exploiting capitalists to get to the monopolistic pricing and anti competitiveness, and they can get there a lot faster.
