No need to assume that, they're perfectly capable of all independently noticing the rise in headlines mentioning inflation and independently choosing to use it as a cover for price gouging.
- VirusNewbie 5y agoso you think that the companies couldn't price gouge until their were a certain threshold of news articles mentioning inflation, that's your theory? They were waiting to do this?
- antifa 5y ago"Let's use this as an opportunity to raise prices only to increase profits" has probably been said at most board meetings on most years over the last 10 years. We know this because it's just business people acting in their own interests, doing what they want to do, and in a lot of cases we have proof. When we don't have hard proof, we do know of companies that raised prices and reported record profits. It's been all over the news. I don't know why you are acting like this is unbelievable or a conspiracy, it's kind of just business as usual at this point.
