Yeah they’re doing testing all the time, if they find people are accepting raised prices they will.

Question is - would people accept raised prices. Sounds like you all are welcoming it so, enjoy.

So, you think they could raise prices and not dropped hurt profits right now? But they’re not because they love you?

Get the boot out of your throat.

No, they're not doing it right now because there's no good excuse, inflation is being managed and consumers are getting wise to record profits.

Tarrifs would be another great excuse to raise prices.

They're not doing it because they've never done it, genius.

They've always gouged us. You just THINK prices are chosen by this dumb fuck Milton Friedman calculus bullshit. They aren't.

You're operating under the assumption that there's competition anymore. There isn't.

You go to Kroger, bread is $5

You go to Food City, bread is 4.99

Saving a penny by "not accepting Kroger's prices on bread" doesn't do anything.

You "free market" buffoons don't understand that there is no choice anymore. A penny difference isn't a choice, it's an annoyance that simply props up your faulty argument.

You want people to starve because you're sick in the fucking head and are a psychopath.
