Which industry has the biggest laugh at their customers' expense?

Again I never said my view point is the only valid one and said the opposite that our votes are equal. The constitution stands and if you don't like it and want something else you would need to move. Your choice but screaming about social services and what they pay for means nothing. You want to live by different rules but the constitution is there stopping what you want.

Again want to say what percentage of your income is taxed? You proved yourself ignorant of what tax % you pay. You were wrong that is no way my fault. Not sure where I said bad people so I think you made that up. It is no way my fault you are ignorant as you have made the choice not to look up taxes nor our constitution so it is wilful.

Sounds like something a shill for big-pharma would say, I've got a tincture of turmeric in my pantry that will sort you out.

Alcohol, same reason (ok, maybe without the bets)

If a scumbag runs me over or dents my car, 9 in 10 cases they didn't have insurance.

If somebody insured does, they will pay out of pocket, because they're blackmailed to by the insurance industry.

Once the higher price is not above the legal maximum then all is good. Competition kicks in, and you can choose whichever you want. What would be a disgrace is if traders were organising a price fixing cartel.

And because the margins are so small their call centre staff are underpaid and overworked

Tesla.

In 2016 one of their cars was going to self drive from one coast of the US to the other. It's now approaching 2023.

Then: Tesla: We’ll Have Full Self-Driving by 2020. Robo-Taxis, Too. ...Musk Says ‘Full Self-Driving’ May Be ‘Worth’ $100,000 - because of course your car will be off pimping itself as a ride for hire while you are sleeping, or while you are at work, so it will actually be making money for you so you should grab one now while they are still so cheap. It's now approaching 2023.

Every TESLA made has all the hardware for full self driving built in, so when the software arrives, every TESLA made will be able to have it - but please don't ask any awkward questions about the new processor. It's now approaching 2023.

How can you choose between competitors if they won't give you a clear fare price in advance?

If you say so.

That must have been because Elon Crook didn't think anyone would belive him and buy any Teslas, or shares in the company...

Must be just sheer coincidence that the Tesla share price sky rocketed in 2019 after his announcements and got just over the line so he would qualify for the biggest CEO bonus in history.

When did Tesla's valuation have to be over $100 billion for him to qualify for the first big Bonus? Why end of May 2019. When did Crook announce the FSD money making robo taxi by the end of the year BS, why April 2019. Pure coincidence of course, he wasn't deliberately lying to get the share price to climb so he could collect that fat bonus, oh no, pure coincidence.

Catholic Church an the famous money boxes that get passed around to keep the roof fixes or heating on.

To directly answer the question, it has to be the gambling industry.

It's their objective to take your money, and they don't give anything in return (funny tweets aside), they just facilitate your loss*.

They're eveywhere too. All over sport (ad-breaks, jersey sponsors, ad breaks, pitch boards, ad breaks) And on laughing, I've seen Jeff Stelling promoting SkyBet during ad breaks for The Office.

Helps that they've pretty much got free reign to do whatever they want in Ireland too. Regulation non-existent.

I've been away years and am astonished at the number of betting shops and now casinos over the length and breadth of Ireland. That doesn't even cover online gambling obviously. Bit of a shocker and I feel really bad for the gambling addicts out there, no escape.

Besides, they aren't even proper casinos and entertainment venues like you might see in Las Vegas or Macau.

The ‘downloadables’ industry. People are buying journals for €15+ to print out themselves at home or use on tablets.

The only cost for the seller is the time designing it and taking two minutes to email it on (but there’s probably automated software available for that). Maybe time for marketing to start with but once you’re doing well on Etsy, you’ll show up high in the search results anyway.
