More pressure to keep profits high due ongoing financial shenanigans. Add consumers with little to no options, and the expectation that the common good is more important than profits. It turned out profits were more important, and now people are angry about the new 230g mayonaise tube costing the same as the 275g one did last year. But at least the new tube required 17% less plastic. Something's got to give if we expect inflation to drop. _Many_ people expect businesses to take the hit. After all, many raised prices due to things like energy costs last winter, but very few lower them again now that production costs go down again.
