I mean, if buttholes are shooting missiles at boats, I think we're beyond "convenient excuses." Do you want to captain a ship through there by chance?

Any legitimate situation will be taken to gouge prices far beyond their actual additional costs. So yes, it is a convenient excuse.

This is the truth. We're now in a place where prices only ratchet up... All they need is a global event, and like beats of a drum, all of the megacorps raise prices in sync

No collusion, no competition, only prices go up

Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
