From the language it's speculative. I think these stories are like good science fiction; cautionary tales intended to help us make the right choices moving forward. Wendy's took a big L over the surge pricing story, this may have the same intent?
 

If the system was controlled by more selfless people (and if it worked / wasn't easy to subvert) then this potentially could be great: if you have a low income, food is sold to you at cost. If you're a millionaire, you pay more.
