    Inflation quadrupled from 2020 to 2021 and then almost doubled again from 2021 to 2022.

    It’s not (just) because they’re greedy that they don’t lower them back down, it’s because they’d go out of business. One 2024 dollar was 83 cents in 2019, that’s way more than the net profit margin for most retail.

    Greed is a constant, they’re not any more greedy now than they were before covid.
