minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•6 months ago I’m not even going to bother explaining the joke to you your anger seems misplaced, you should really be angry at yourself. i understand what joke you tried to make, it just doesn’t make sense. “not making sense” doesn’t automatically make something funny. 🤷♂️

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink2•6 months 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.

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