And the market will bear it when idiots believe it’s the minimum wage to blame and not the greedy executives. If they thought they were being ripped off they would quit spending money at the price gougers establishments. I’ve noticed prices go up the most at places that traditionally serve right wing customers. For example, a local hardware store in my area really raised prices and had sales they called “inflation busters”. The whole thing is a joke.
There might be a bit more to it (e.g. location or something) but as written it sounds like you are implying hardware stores (or their customers) skew right.
I see how it looks that way. I was referring to a specific hardware store chain that is local in my area. Some of the employees wear “stand for the flag” shirts with the company logo. While the flag itself isn’t partisan the need to display it on a shirt certainly is.
In-N-Out raised their prices post-pandemic without workers getting an increase in pay. The cause and effect here is not credible.
Of course not. Prices will rise whenever the capitalist assholes at the top think the market will bear it.
