You don't have laws against selling the same product at different prices in the US? 😕😔
Given the US, I'd bet 20 states say that it's illegal (but can't seem to enforce that unless one of them is New York or California), 20 states say that it's specifically legal (including Texas and Florida), and the remainder either haven't made up their minds yet or no one cares what they think because they don't have the population or economic clout to make anyone listen.
It would not surprise me if we didn't, but even if we did it doesn't matter anymore. Rules are for the proles, not the parasite class.
The US is pro making things as hospitable for corporations as possible, while making them as inhospitable for citizens as they will tolerate. And it turns out, Americans can tolerate a LOT.
