'did not seek to determine whether the prices or margins of Coles, Woolworths, Aldi or Metcash were "excessive"'
"very difficult to get to the bottom of that"
"part of the reason is the complexity"
Literally what is even the point of having the ACCC when they just come back with this weak ass report putting the very thing they were supposed to investigate in the "too hard" basket?
Oh it's "very difficult" to say whether they're price gouging is it? Oh is that too hard for you mate?
Here let me help out. Yes, they're price gouging. Plain as day. Not hard at all.
@phocks “it’s difficult to say, maths is complex. This $2 milks now costs $3.20… with 10% inflation it should cost only…oh it’s so complex, that’s probably fine”
@Cacotopos much complexity. so very maths
@phocks @Cacotopos “we're unable to look at the profit & loss statement that the company produces frequently to determine if their profit margin rose during that period.” because maths.
Remember that Barbie Doll in the 90s that went "but math is *hard*"?
Still gas-lighting those children, just like always.
son what use to be department store and book store names in Canada are grocery store names in Australia.
@phocks "it is too hard" Okay, great, thanks for letting us know. Now fuck off. We'll replace you with someone who wants to do the work.
