    The problem is that company are absolutely going to pass that off to customers (aka, the workers… ultimately.)

    News flash, they’re going to be raising prices regardless.

      And they won’t tack that on, too, anyhow?

      Chances are they’ll pass on the costs, increase the price, anyhow, shrink products, and raise prices even more, and then blame the last three on the first.

      Exactly like they’ve been doing.

              I said they will pass the cost on to customers.

              You they said they would raise prices anyhow.

              I said (snarkishly) that raising rates is a separate thing than the cost of wages, and they’d still do it.

              So you they said the point is they’re a still going to do the price increase.

              (Edit, confused you for the other guy)

                  Apologies. I confused you for the OC.

                  I corrected that. Still, though, it’s gaslighting bullshit.
