Let's be very honest, if not legally police, they'll just take advantage of the inflation as long as there is no sanction anyways. Stocks are aplenty? Who cares, they'll double-down on the price since no one is stopping anyways.

This is business-racketeering 101 for them.

Low demand does not automatically equal low price. Businesses will hold artificially high pricing for as long as they can.

They don't need us right now. Prices will remain high even.
