> Build a real business. If you can't be profitable without eliminating all the competition by undercutting them then jacking up prices, then you shouldn't exist

It's all so amazing to me. You take a incredibly profitable aspect of small businesses, turn it into a big business, lose all the profitability and hurt almost everyone involved, with the end goal being the ponzi cash-out or the automation of the entire sector leading to massive unemployment issues.



Absolutely. The business of turning $1.00 into $0.95 (or less) must stop.


There should be some reasonable limits on this type of dumping. It might be just allowed for first 3 or so months in new area. Or once a quarter limited duration campaigns.

But otherwise it should result in banning operations for a while.
