We are in post-competition capitalism. Even if the alternative isn’t owned by the same parent company, they will do the same bullshit.

Its disgusting, really. It‘s also part of our daily lives. Having a great idea or great skills isnt enough, unless they are part of the dark triad. People with those skills will always eat your lunch - for free.

We need to pathologize these behaviors instead of normalizing them.

What bullshit is that? Not giving you a discount just because you already buy from them?
