@pluralistic This makes very little sense to me. Yes, oligopolies are bad, but if there’s price fixing and/or unreasonable profits, that is the case with or without price discrimination. If the prices were set without any competition, then they could always charge high prices, and people would always buy them, and they wouldn’t have to use price discrimination at all.
Also, airlines are a really bad example, since they are heavily subsidised by unpaid externalities.
