    This is what I said all through covid; it was all lies and bs used to justify raising prices

      You’re getting downvoted because it sounds like you think COVID is fake. I agree with you that companies made up every reason they could to raise prices, but it was because COVID was a good scapegoat, not because COVID is fake.

        Was I getting downvoted? I didn’t see, but yeah exactly, they used covid as a scapegoat, which was completely bullshit
