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.
Exactly. If there's a line companies love saying it's "In these uncertain times..." The more you're worried about unpredictability, the more predictable their little lines get...
Seems like it. War, covid, inflation, it's all very convenient scapegoat. Updooted OP.
Was I getting downvoted? I didn't see, but yeah exactly, they used covid as a scapegoat, which was completely bullshit
