Apprarently they feel they can be. It is odd; if they were cleverer they’d leave that for after they’d decimated the competition.

from pure code pov: could use a reliable data source for seeing if a dangerous event is in play in news, then halt surge pricing if so

@cnbsec doesnt understand that the algorithm's written to NOT condition surgeprice on absence of bomb/violence/disaster -
surge pricing is reaction to demand outstripping supply. Disabling it wouldn't help more people get to safety
