Price fixing is a good thing? "“Five or six years ago, a bunch of women on the site who did erotic massage got together and were like, ‘What if we all raise our rates by $20?’ And it totally worked. That can't happen now.”"
- bmelton 12y agoThe very idea that collusion is always bad is a fallacy. Price fixing is a good thing when it obliterates exploitative wages, sure. One man's "price fixing" is another man's "unionization", and this is more akin to the latter than the former, really. Aside from that, as there are indeed minimal barriers to entry in the market of erotic massage, and the legal headaches are generally equal to all participants, if the price got too high, it would be easy for upstarts to disrupt the market.
