- hammock 2y agoIf they don't want to charge more though?
- TylerE 2y agoWhen their gas prices go up, their equipment goes up, their feed goes up, etc, they won’t have any choice.
- tcmart14 2y agoI wonder though, in specifically this instance, if the price of their feed is going down because of how many chickens have been culled or just flat out died from disease. But yea, if other cost rise, they will need to rise prices.
- hammock 2y agoDoesn't quite answer the question (of why they should sell at the highest price they can). Unless you are suggesting that raising prices today is better (normative sense, since you used the word "should") than raising prices when you don't have a choice. In which case, can you explain more your reasoning?
- TylerE 2y agogestures vaguely in the direction of the last 10,000 years of well documented human behavior.
