You mean keeping prices the same and pocketing the savings?

Capitalism used to be kept in check and competing for customers drove value for the customers.

We're in end-game capitalism where rats flee the sinking ship while selling seats on the lifeboats reserved for women and children.

I don't think capitalism was ever kept in check simply by competing for customers. It also required strong labor unions and government regulations.
