Good Neil Irwin piece in the Post.
He brings up a great point: customers don't get pissy over still-profitable deep discount sales at retailers. Would Uber be better off if they called their surge prices the "normal" price and the rest of the time a "discount"?
Or are framing effects like this too cheap and gimmicky to fool even the economically illiterate?

Do you have suggestions on where we could find more examples of this phenomenon?
