Once they realized what people are willing to pay for certain things what business in its right mind would lower prices back down?

Basic price conditioning at work.
Gas prices $3. Then they soar to $5-$6. People lose their minds. They come "down" to $4 and most of the general public breathes a sigh of relief even though there's no reason it can't be $3 again.

No claim, I am indeed very wealthy, not rich. There’s a difference but I wouldn’t expect you to know.

frick you



You're the idiot whining about how restaurants are still charging more for fricking chicken fingers and are too stupid to realize they’re charging more for food because they’re having to cover the sky high cost of labor now.

I mean, at least you're sticking to your nonsensical post followed by utterly pointless rebuttal.

Keep building your model planes. I’ll be shopping for diamonds at Tiffany tomorrow followed by lunch at Nobu.

Have a great weekend

Well, eggs are under $2 a dozen now. That’s something, at least. Yay.

And none of that will change the fact you have not the slightest clue how the cost of labor impact’s a business and the prices for their goods and services.

Wealthy people have the diamonds brought to them via a private dealer and don't go to Tiffany's.

It’s cool that someone with a sub-80 IQ could become a published journalist, I guess.

Media continues their agenda by pumping sunshine in the middle of darkness for this Administration.
Guys, find a girl that'll treat you the way the media treats Biden.

Chicken wings is a good example of how it’s prices and not inflation. They’ve come down significantly at the grocery store but go to any restaurant where if it’s an appetizer or entree and wings are exponentially expensive and are more than likely not going to come down like they did at the grocery store.


The market will eventually correct on restaurant pricing if wings stay lower.

F Vox. The liberalism it spews is the reason we are in this mess.

Liberalism is a mental disorder.

"Excluding food, energy, shelter, used cars..."

So the inflation index is down on tennis balls and deodorant...
