> Again, why are you fine with supply & demand raising prices in one situation but furiously outraged when the same thing happens in the other?

Because both are at the cost of workers and for the benefit of capital.

Owners win both ways, workers lose both ways.

Edit: Also, the collusion is by the few against the many in both cases.

Also also, the prices are artificial -- collusion is keeping rents artificially high and wages artificially low.
