By the way, what happens when the Mexican standoffs end?

[phantom power]

We've all read the stories. Basically, every single business out there is desperately trying to keep its prices at historic normal, or at least as close as possible, and the reason is that they're all hoping that their competition will go bankrupt first.

Eventually, these contests are going to come to an end, and each contest that ends, will end with the winners raising prices sharply, to get their business back in the black.

To wit: inflation is bad now, but we haven't yet seen how much stuff actually costs. It's actually much worse.
