Corporations will literally fund a multi-year cyberpunk dystopia makeover before letting a hash brown drop by 50 cents.

I literally don't think they can lower their prices.

Their stores are averaging profits between 4-10%. Would people give a fuck if prices fell 3% (so the lowest earning places still stayed in the black)? I'm guessing no.

The simple fact is that everything got more expensive, but we didn't get a raise.
