    Do you want your goods to become stupid expensive or something?

      No, what I really want is more transportation options to get as many fucking people off the road as possible. Covid was beautiful when no one was driving but my company made me.

          Cost is determined more by what people are willing to pay and less by what it costs to make the product.

          If they can charge $5 for a bottle of water, they’re going to do that whether it’s costs $1 or $2 to make.

          So if they could increase costs today, they would. An increased tax would give them a politically friendly exercuse to do so, but it’s just an excuse. They’d do it either way.
