How can anyone allege discrimination when all you have is an AI telling you the price you get? It’s not open source and you don’t get to see data across all races or sexes or whatever to spot a pattern. I think we just need new regulations and laws. Maybe make income or wealth a protected trait you cannot discriminate on. Or require transparency and reporting on algorithmic pricing. Or higher taxes for businesses that use these tactics. But that’s years away, if ever. I bet all airlines will do this. I’ll just fly even less

> “make income or wealth a protected trait you cannot discriminate on” Seems like that would be problematic for progressive tax rates. Honestly it’s pretty clever. “Wealth is a protected class” would fit right in with the modern right-wing rhetoric, continuing the inversion theme already established with “actually whites are the targets of racism” and “actually Christians are persecuted in the West”, etc.
