I wish I had a company that operated like the Honolulu Board of Water Supply. I would have a product that everyone needed. Everyone would have to purchase this product solely from my company. On a whim, I would call my board of directors to discuss price increases. With minimal data or studies presented to the public, they would arbitrarily vote on an increase (how about 50%?).
With unanimous “yes” votes, all customers would have no choice but to continue using my product at a higher price.
