We have come to accept that businesses will gouge us if they can; that a business's only motive is making as much money as possible. Businesses not longer even pretend to be primarily interested in providing a good product or service. I think this is a change.

For example, if I ran Netflix, I'd think about how to provide entertainment to as many people as possible, while keeping employees paid a decent wage and the doors open. But Netflix simply announces, "We are raising our subscription prices and will start showing you ads, because we want to make more money."
