      The obvious answer is that going after foreign ticket distribution platforms is easy and has no downside while going after domestic grocers would entail pissing off domestic companies and people that are far more likely to be involved monetarily in domestic politics.

      Pretty sure it comes down to one of these things benefits businesses and the other does not (at least more directly).

      > The innovation of e-ink price tags on the shelves of brick-and-mortar stores means that even offline retail could potentially take advantage of customers this way.

      This doesn’t exist because it would require companies to use surveillance in every single isle to monitor every person, illegally using facial recognition to identify them and where they are in the store in order to change item prices for each person based on whatever their algorithm says they are willing to pay.

      Ignoring the illagality of this alone, it would be a massive IT infrastructure that would be insanely expensive and require constant costs and management.

      As for online algorithmic pricing… This has existed for many years and is legal when it’s based on inventory, location, and other aspects not tied to personal information. No matter what law they create it would still come down to someone having to prove they used personal information vs legally protected information.

      Price discrimination is nothing new. Senior discounts? They’re quite literally just entrenched price discrimination benefitting a group of people who’ve consistently held the highest levels of wealth for decades.

      I’m personally not against this, and it’s kind of comical how much backlash this is receiving considering it:

      1) largely doesn’t exist today and isn’t going to exist in any meaningful capacity for a very long time (at which point these policies could easily be revisited).

      2) provides one of the easiest ways to actually close income and wealth gaps as people identified as having more disposable income would pay higher sticker prices (which seems to be a wildly popular topic with most people. Any talk of wealth inequality is overwhelmingly met with calls for change).

      Arguing this is comparable to ticket master price scalping- who were literally found guilty of operating an illegal monopoly- is just a bad faith argument, plain and simple.
