It's not a premium tax. I'm paying for the same ice cream as in 2000, except now it's nearly twice as expensive.
$50 in 2000 currently amounts to $78

It's not greed, it's inflation.
It's also not greed to charge for actual work having been done.
They're not charging for BC, the charge is for the extras.

Governments have the tendency to devalue money over time.

Inflation is a tricky area because it's not linear: there's socio-economic value that has to be accounted for.  In other words, if the dollar is suddenly worth half, the price of goods would not simply double to maintain the same "value".  This is WAYYY too big of a topic to bring up here, but inflation is not as simple as people make it out to be, not that the cost of living (at least here in America in more tech focused cities) hasn't vastly outpaced minimum wage in large part due to inflation... lol

You keep reinforcing how spot-on I was.

👍

But here,  I’ll give you what you want: “What a good and funny review format you chose for yourself. So clever and imaginative! There’s really nothing I can imagine you could do to be better! So, so good!”

You really are proving you only see/hear what you want to...  As if no one criticizes or disagrees in which, unlike you, I've proven I'm willing to have civil discourse.

"You suck, you're bad, cringe" is not civil discourse.  That is why my responses to you are short: conversation with you is impossible because you simply do not like me but lack the ability and honesty to state it and move on.

I have been honest from my first comment here. See how you’re taking it.
