Not necessarily.
I explained how this works before: companies play with the margin to maximize profits rather than just adjust for increased back-end costs. THAT is why businesses are responsible for more inflation than US monetary policy.
Funny how you expect the worst from average people but somehow thing that business people are going to be morally superior.
Ist it stupidity, bigotry, or both?
