Kairos ( @LodeMike@lemmy.today ) 3•5 months agoI do. It’s basic market forces.
I say therothetically because the US doesn’t enforce antitrust laws.

Sonori ( @sonori@beehaw.org ) 2•5 months agoI doubt prices will fall now that various companies have seen what they can get away with, but they’ve likely level off as inflation falls back to normal now that the pandemic excuse is run out.
fatboy93 ( @fatboy93@lemm.ee ) 4•5 months agoFunny story, we are moving out of our apartment to another in the same city, because that is close to $300 cheaper.
We had an issue in the bathroom and the maintenence guy comes and we make small talk. I find that he lives in another apartment complex, the property managers live in another apartment complex, because the ones I live in is expensive and the housing in our city is expensive that none of us can afford to buy one.
And they’ve done it, those people are living in the company town :(
