When working with the complexity of reality, some people prefer theory to experience, some consider experience more valuable than theory, and some find that a combination of the two is most useful.

No conspiracy here at all it's simple supply and demand economic as the demand goes up so does the price and then when it goes down the price drops again.

When we see the same thing happening with frozen peas and dogfood, that's supply and demand. What we are seeing here is crass manipulation of the price to maximise the gouge.

If the storeholder hasn't factored things like that into his initial pricing, he's incompetent.

What is the difference between an appropriate and an inappropriate profit, and who is entitled to determine the difference?

The same people who can discern between just and excessive corporate pay. These things happen when true competition is quashed.

Aha! Public Opinion then? Now there’s a objective standard if ever there was one!

The Have's and the Have Not's! We never learn. The people can eat cake until they are coming through the halls.

Is that the creak of the tumbrils I hear?
Inequity will always plant the seeds of reaction.

“... The people can eat cake ...”, “... the creak of the tumbrils ...”
Aha! With the allusions to Marie Antoinette and the carts used to carry condemned prisoners to their place of execution, the scene is set and the analogy made between the current economic situation and the French Revolution, with the implicit “do as we say, or you will be murdered.”
Permit me a moment to don the appropriate costume ...
Oui Messieurs, parce que plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose.
