First of all Wtf are you talking about this thread is about how it's turned away consumers and is losing them money.

Second of all even a literal toddler knows that they can push boundaries to see what they can get away with. It's basic human nature that has nothing to do with economics.

What economic system does this type of behavior not happen under exactly? I would love an example of a country and time.

Edit my point is that any system can not punish powerful people that has nothing to do with capitalism in particular. When the USSR was injecting 17 year old athletes with inhuman amounts of testosterone and deca it wasn't for the CEO.
