Surge pricing on groceries is straight up evil
It’s unclear why the prices differ, but a new notice on Target’s website offers a potential hint: “This price was set by an algorithm using your personal data.”

I'm generally not big on telling authors, "Don't write about this, write about this other thing that worries me more." But in the authoritarian moment, I think it's fair to ask that they not write pieces that echo or assist the authoritarians.
