I am not a libertarian FYI. The question is not whether predatory businesses are good or bad, the question is, so long as their advertising is not deceptive, who do you or the government think you are to take options away from people and profits from business owners? Everything from junkfoods to lotteries are "predatory" because poor people who can do better choose them by this logic.
I am simply challenging you to educate people or invent a competition that is better and can advertise better. What you call predatory is a fair business practice given the responsibility of spending your money after being well informed is the consumer's responsibility while the business simply needs to not deceive or coerce consumers.
- surgical_fire 3y ago> who do you or the government think you are to take options away from people and profits Yes, who do they think they are, taking options away from grifters and swindlers from their deserved profits? The nerve on these people.
- _8j50 3y agoNo, that's such a strawman. If they defrauded people lock them up. You very well know that is not what this discussion is about. And you dare suggest it is I who argued in bad faith!
- surgical_fire 3y agoYou said clearly that predatory businesses are alright as long as the advertisement is not deceptive. No bad faith on my part.
- _8j50 3y agoHow are they defrauding and scamming if they're honest? You made your counter-argument about something else so you don't have to address my argument. Bad faith.
- surgical_fire 3y agoNobody thinks of the poor predatory businesses?
- _8j50 3y agoWhat? Did you just make another strawman argument? Please lookup what that is and why you shouldn't do that.
