No REASON

The U.S. Postal Service announced that it will be raising rates.
Reason? Too many people use email and phones, or other sources, for correspondence, and the Post Office is not making enough money.

Disney has increased its ticket prices to the amusement parks well over $10 in the past 4 years.
Reason? Not enough people are going to the Parks, so the Walt Disney Co. is not making enough money.

The Los Angeles Transportation system is putting a brand spanking new busline through my neighborhood.
Reason? Not enough people ride the public transportation in L.A., and the city is not making enough money.

Gas prices are going up at a time when there is a surplus of oil.
Car prices are raised at a time when there is a call for emergency solutions to the influx of unsold and excess automobiles over the past 10 years (to store, to sell to foreign market, to recycle?). Bottom line, too many cars being produced.
Pharmaceutical companies are raising the prices of some of their more popular meds because so many people are going to Canada and Mexico for cheaper drugs.
Reason? Not making enough money.

Hold on.
Am I the only one who thinks this is all backwards?

If not enough people ride the bus, how much financial sense does it make to buy more buses?
If patients are going to other countries to buy the same drugs you sell, shouldn't you try to make it worth their while to stay here?
If you want people to use your product, buy your oil, ride Space Mountain, the very LAST thing you want to do is CHARGE MORE MONEY for the privilege.

So, the REAL REASON these companies are not making enough money is that not enough people are willing to pay their higher prices to compensate for the fact that they aren't making enough money.....

It's just not
reasonable
