They say "Change is slow" for anything that benefits the working class, but change is always instant for the Billionaire Class. (thelemmy.club)

Prices go up, governments react to help the industries that take the money but fail to lower the prices for consumers, it happens time & time again. Even if the benefit is passed onto consumers it never returns to the pre"whatever" price, it is always slightly higher. Can you think of a thing that got a price hike that then returned to the same price, or less?

I'm sure it must happen but I'm not seeing it.

    I gave an example, no? Flight prices (on legs with a low-cost-carrier) are quite cost responsive, and have certainly raised and lowered back to where they started.

    I'd consider that as more of a luxury item where they have to be responsive or lose a lot of money. Food on the other hand, everyone's gotta eat, those are the ones seem to only ever go up & up, & drops are still above original.
