On the contrary, they don't actually mark it up that much. If anything, Beer has one of the lower mark ups. Bottled water on the other hand...yes.

beer is just an analogy. I interpreted it as him saying there is greed in all markets.

Is there something inherently wrong with marking up cash advances for those who are otherwise seen as too risky to take on? Any market that has little to no competition has the opportunity to run the same course.

The recent drug price increase of 5000% comes to mind.
