minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink25•18 days agoExactly. He will ask for 99.9% of what they make.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink11•edit-218 days agoWell, yeah. Gotta make profits somehow and avoid Seal Team 6 liquidating your ass on the way to the Hamptons.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink12•18 days agoI’m not even going to bother explaining the joke to you. I am disappointed in you as a person though.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink2•18 days 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]linkfedilink4•edit-218 days agoDisappointment is not anger. What joke do you think I made?
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink2•18 days 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.

Exactly. He will ask for 99.9% of what they make.
So you’re saying prices will go up 99%
Well, yeah.

I’d be more wary about windows.

More like racketeering I believe.
