That takes a step back to the 19th century when the rich would shop in one store and the poor would shop in another. And if that happens again how can Amazon claim to be a global marketplace when some 90-95% of the populace won't be able to afford what no doubt Amazon claims is and will be available to everyone? Something isn't available to everyone if most people can't afford it.
Charging a fair price for what they offer is hardly discriminatory, and rising costs of business always lead to rising prices.

Anyone can still buy whatever they want on Amazon, and anyone who can't, couldn't beforehand either.

Many people have never had Prime, are they unable to shop on Amazon?
