minus-squareTolookah@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkarrow-up19arrow-down2·18 days agoSo you’re saying prices will go up 99%

minus-square14th_cylon@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down6·17 days ago Disappointment is not anger. it is, just camouflaged. prices going up 99% would result in “them” having ~0,2%, instead of the 0,1% they had before. so, you see, your joke, where you tried to pass the expense of the bribe onto customer, doesn’t work, before your math is way off.

minus-squareTransplantedSconie@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up11·edit-218 days agoWell, yeah. Gotta make profits somehow and avoid Seal Team 6 liquidating your ass on the way to the Hamptons.

Exactly. He will ask for 99.9% of what they make.
So you’re saying prices will go up 99%
