“Fraud, Deception, sabotage of product, one sided contracts, etc.”

CEO Carly Fiorina’s business strategy plan... *sell the printers cheap, mark-up the ink refills 1000%* and make unending money on the backend.

Yeah, as a businessman myself who has been self employed all my life I am getting sick of the “private business rights” cult. It is an excuse to scam and take advantage of customers without remorse. Why? Because the all mighty dollar is more important than anything else in life. It is immoral as a concept. Crooks...

Should I consider Liz Cheney as a peer and support her “business rights?”

It is twisted. They can’t even consider the concept of price gouging as wrong. There is no such thing in their minds.

Here are the facts that are currently scamming this economy. And no honest businessman can deny this reality which is helping kill our economy and nation. Short term gouging towards a cause and effect of long term destruction, including their own destruction. It is stupid business and self destructive.

If a businesses costs increase 25%-30% and they increase their markup 100% to 150% is this not price gouging?

f 25% of the businesses are hit with cost increases, yet the 75% who did not have cost increases lie about it and jump on the bandwagon to also jack up their prices anyhow price gouging?

Is raising the price of a product “only” 25% but simultaneously reducing the product amount 50% price gouging? Especially if their over head costs did not increase?

No, even as a businessman I have to point out it is crooked ass greedy price gouging. So although mostly, this economy is not quite all Biden’s fault. The cult of greed is taking advantage of the situation, ripping off the people and letting Biden take all the blame. They are perpetuating and exacerbating the situation and the dishonesty is pissing me off.

So I support hitting these greedy companies for scams like this... It is bad business for everyone in the printer industry. Better to hit them now than to let the rest jump on the band wagon with the same crooked scam and let it become an industry standard.

It is time for fair business again. Where is Ralph Nader when you really need him? lol
