MODERATORS
Unless there's (close to) a monopoly or all players in the market are acting accordingly. For products where simply not buying it anymore is not really a viable option, that greedy approach works out quite fine unfortunately.
It has been working out fine for the greedy so far, but is that really sustainable in the long term? At some point if greed isn't checked, there WILL be violence.
Unless the greedy ones are also those with the biggest army and most effective weapons.
Being the most powerful player isn’t sufficient to prevent opposition. A pufferfish is less powerful than a shark, but the shark still has to respect the pufferfish because the pufferfish can hurt the shark even as it dies.
Even then we're starting to a see a situation where people just don't have money and end up not buying things even if they need them.
