I am thoroughly confused. Where I live almost all supermarkets went from printing labels on paper, to putting this e-ink little displays. Did price fixing explode overnight? Obviously not, we have bloody laws that prevent that, it's not the responsibility of a stupid little screen...
The more I think about it the more dumber it sounds... There is this terrible practice that is our society worse every day, but tomorrow with this new technology they can do it twice faster! That's bad, we should ban the technology, so they can only make our life terrible, and not double terrible!
