It’s a fairly good rule of thumb that if Elizabeth Warren is against something, it’s probably a good thing that you should support. Or, at the very least, it reveals just how ignorant she is about how our supply-and-demand economy actually works.

She’s now waging a war against “dynamic pricing,” which she claims is how “giant companies … squeeze you even more.”
We should all be worried about “dynamic pricing.”
That’s when companies change their prices in real time.
If it’s hot out, the cost of ice cream could go up.
If it’s cold, tea bags could go up.It’s a way for giant companies to squeeze you even more.

Yes, when people want more ice cream in the summer, the demand goes up while supply usually stays the same. So prices will go up. Same thing with tea bags in the winter.
Consumers often accept dynamic pricing. Airline tickets, for example, vary by price based on the day of the week and the season. Hotel room prices are subject to dynamic pricing, too. This writer went to Green Bay, Wisconsin, one January and paid $79/night for her hotel room. During the Packers season, that same room costs $350. Bars have happy hours, offering discounted drinks at off-peak hours, too. It’s part of a free market economy.

She hates anything that makes Americans happy.
Thank you. I want a Federal government that regulates the price of ice cream.

It’ll be off-brand vanilla and slightly melted.
Senior Senators can’t grasp basic economics.
This tracks.

It absolutely tracks.
I dunno, I’m more worried about non-dynamic pricing. You know, when the Politburo decides prices, inevitably resulting in either major shortages or major excess supply. https://t.co/xkao3MZg3x

But at least if there’s a major shortage, everyone is equally starving.
Should hotels by the beach be forced to charge the same rates all year?
Should airline tickets cost the same whether you book them five months in advance or the day before?
Should happy hours be banned?
If you answered “no” to any of these, you support dynamic pricing. https://t.co/KgXW0QKSbP

Someone should really ask Warren these questions.
Dynamic pricing is how businesses work and respond to market forces. But because Elizabeth Warren has never had a real job and has no idea how to work in the real world, she thinks dynamic pricing is a bad thing, and she wants to make the companies that provide us with goods and services the bad guy in all of this.
