How Much Are Prices Raised?

[haele]

1. Depends. Some things are up 40%, some 20%....

....and some items have doubled.
Some few remain the same.
The primary difference in whether or not -or by how much - the cost is going up, from I can see, is whether or not you've got:
1. a honest provider only raising to meet increased costs,
2. A provider able to use economy of scale, or who has a huge amount stored up so they can maintain costs without having to raise them for a while, or
3. Has been making so much profit or is subsidized, so they don't need to raise prices, and are more concerned about maintaining a market than they are of what to them is a nickel/dime increase in costs.
But prices are going up. Unlike wages.
