Busyb555, I'm unclear on the "good" things you see "the brain trust at KPFA" making war on. Are you referring to the Gawd-given right of cops to beat, frame or shoot people illegally with impunity,...

Until such time as you or someone proposes a plausible account for how such unprecedentedly consistent overpricing could be accidental, you will excuse me for assuming it's almost surely a purposeful...

Tom, I think you (and some others in the discussion) are confusing two separate issues. On the one hand, we have honest mistakes, which everyone makes. Of course every store will have some accidental...

Yes?


Almost? If it's true that they're purposely overpricing to rip people off, that would fit the definition of conspiracy. You do understand that there is such a thing as a conspiracy, don't...

If these were accidental, random mispricings, they would be uncommon and would be just as likely to be underpricings as overpricings. The report mentioned in the initial post of this thread quotes...
