      LEGO has technically lowered prices. They have started transitioning to sustainable plastic sources that are much more expensive to produce, but will not increase prices.

          Yes, but now that they’re built from better and more expensive materials without a price raise, they’re less overpriced than they used to be.

          Hell, name any other toy brand with anywhere near their popularity and brand recognition which HASN’T been overpriced forever AND raised prices significantly in recent years.

            my point, is I won’t give companies a shred of recognition of a ‘good job’ until their crimes, lies and corruption are stopped or they are jailed. no more free passes, no more looking the other way, no more ‘well it’s kinda better now’ … no. hard stop, I’m sick of all these companies. they all deserve nonstop hatred, being called out for crimes and being treated like trash.

                Instead of paying workers what they are worth, they are paid a market wage that is always less than the value they produce.

                That’s where profit comes from. All profit is theft.

                  Profit can also be the value of the labour you put into something. If you buy wood, build a table, then sell it for more than the value of the wood, then that profit is the value of your labour.
