I specifically chose a fee that was higher than the actual cost so dumbasses wouldn't nitpick about greed and profits and yet you still somehow did it, so I'll take the bait- please explain to me how a business can operate selling an item at $10 when they have $100 in guaranteed costs? Do you understand that this means they lose at least $90 on every transaction at that price? I get that companies are greedy and skim more off the top but this is pure idiocy to make this argument in this hypothetical.
