The price of an item is a$1.25 per they, whoever they are want to lift the price to $1.75 per. So they use reasons from news stories, wars, pandemics, political unrest, earthquakes etc. To boost price per to $2.50. We all moan and groan about it but sort of think those reasons must be correct. Then after the so called dust has settled they slowly lower the price to $1.75 now everybody is happy the price came down and we go about adjusting our lives to fit the new lower price of $1.75. The old slap and tickle, government uses this all the time. Crock of **** but it works
