That, unfortunately, is day to day life in a capitalist system. I can pick up a newspaper and check websites for the best deals on televisions, laptops, mobiles, mortgage providers all the way down to who is doing the best price on 12 bottles of my preferred German lager.
Unless we just want to go the whole hog and nationalise everything and have straightforward regulated pricing for everything. I’d be at the front of the queue for the socialist revolution but as far as I can tell this is offering me the downsides of capitalism (international companies making supernormal profits) and none of the upsides.
