    Any legitimate situation will be taken to gouge prices far beyond their actual additional costs. So yes, it is a convenient excuse.

      This is the truth. We’re now in a place where prices only ratchet up… All they need is a global event, and like beats of a drum, all of the megacorps raise prices in sync

      No collusion, no competition, only prices go up
