[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What a surprise! People praising the free markets, the greed, the offer and demand! Who could have guessed? [/quote]
This debate might pop up on more DCUM volleyball threads than Metro versus Paramount, but I don't really understand what people who believe small business shouldn't maximize their profits are suggesting. What solutions are you proposing?

I don't really understand what people who believe small business should maximize their profits are suggesting. Stop doing the math to avoid realizing that they are shamelessly milking everyone? Stop exercising free speech? If they are allowed to charge whatever they want, we can also point out the greed. Look it up - it's called the first amendment. [/quote]

Yes, you can call it greed. You can call it greed 100 times if you want. But repeating a word doesn’t make it true.

I’ll restate my original question: do you also complain when a popular restaurant raises prices, a daycare has a waitlist, or a tutor charges $150/hour? Somehow “greed” only becomes the explanation when it’s an activity you personally want but don’t want to pay for.

There are cheaper ways to play volleyball: park and rec, school teams, community leagues, open gyms, your backyard. What you’re upset about is that the most sought-after clubs, coaches, and clinics charge premium prices.

That’s not greed. That’s a premium product with matching demand.

It’s like walking into BLT Steak, ordering a burger, and complaining that Burger King sells one for less. Nobody is forcing you to buy the premium option.[/quote]
