| Message | Tow things can happen from this: 1. Companies (or more likely the monopoly) will be forced to lower prices beyond operating costs, which will see worker pay cut and/or the cutting of services. 2. Companies will inflate prices to whatever maximum you set, leaving this whole thing a giant waste of time and, more importantly, money. |
