Really? I can't raise prices on anything. I'm just some plebe.
People who opportunistically raise prices (blaming Russia or COVID or the weather or whatever else) cause inflation.
Yes, we plebes allow it. We could all pressure our politicians to put a stop to that. We don't. Sadly, we don't even know how to pressure our politicians if we wanted to.
