So I should join the work force - more than I am doing now- so that I can be stupid and get ripped off- and it seems to me according to you....enjoy it!

NO THANKS!

By the way I worked hard to afford the two cases of reasonably priced guinness that I purchased today.

I could just see you turning up at my place-

Me: "here is a free beer"

You: "its not good if its free let me pay $6.00"

One wonders Are you ripping folks off when you work for them so that you can proudly be ripped off elsewhere?

Amazing!

The market has nothing to do with it. Extracting unfair profits is simply wrong. Enabling the practice is just as bad.
