Oh, we need to raise our prices because of inflation and then inflation goes down but the prices don’t.

I mean, this is literally how inflation works. Inflation rates go down, but things don’t magically become cheaper again. It just doesn’t get more expensive as quickly. If they raise prices over what you’re willing to pay, then don’t buy it. That’s how prices drop.

Is it bullshit? Absolutely, no argument there. That’s just how things work unfortunately.
