now, yes. it was quite different back when bernie was there, the faculty (in the non-humanities at least) and students were much more engaged in anti-war and civil rights struggles. this current generation of professors is all liberal or chud boomers now, except in a few departments.

Oh ok, he wasn't part of the price fixing, he only worked on a project analyzing exactly the information that would have flagged price fixed products.

so pete built a model to allow a retailer to maximize its profits by changing the price of its goods.

it may have even been a good model, taking into account all kinds of price and sales information from various retailers and brands

it may have even developed well-defined demand curves for a variety of product categories

and if it could demonstrate a way to maximize profits by lowering prices, you bet your rear end it could do the inverse

giving pete the benefit of the doubt, he was probably a low-level flunkie that built some parts of the model and handed it back to the larger team when he got reassigned. the model was then thrown to some other new kid to find profit opportunities, like establishing a price-fixing scheme on inelastic goods.

Ehhhhh...... You may well be right about his role, but I don't think the model got repurposed - the initial moves in the scheme came from suppliers, and Loblaw's a retailer.
