> is it OK to change your price because the responder is from an area that is mostly black? No, it's not. That's only because that's enshrined in law. Discriminating based on wealth or geography is not. Nor is discriminating based on political party affiliation. > Anything else leads to discrimination and other awful behaviors that we've had to pass laws to change. Only in the most egregious of cases. Keep in mind that discounts for seniors, veterans, medical workers, etc are all discriminatory. You're giving a different price between two groups. It's really the equivalent of listing the price as $100, and then charging $110 if you're not in one of those groups. | ||

> Only in the most egregious of cases. Everything is egregious. Private equity is buying up everything, and the only things it doesn't control are what big data got to first. Everything is owned by soulless amoral demons who never sleep. Employers are mining data to find the exact minimum salary each candidate will accept. Airlines are working to charge every customer the maximum they can stomach. Landlords are using companies to fix prices while claiming they're not fixing prices. Grocery stores want in on it. Healthcare wants in on it. Everything is doing what you claim the "most egregious cases" are. | ||
