In this episode, the Inflation Guy confronts the question of "Greedflation." What is it, and is it real? Is inflation all the fault of smelly capitalists? And what is the difference between the consumer's greed, wanting to pay less, and the company's greed, wanting you to pay more?
Corporate margins are expanding, along with higher inflation. Does that constitute prima facie evidence of greedflation? The Inflation Guy tackles this too, despite completely butchering the pronunciation of "prima facie." He also mentions the Illuminati. Really, you can't miss this episode.

If the subsequent cost of goods sold rose too much relative to what the retailer was allowed to charge, many of the products would simply be discontinued.

I’ve been an Amazon merchant for the past decade. One of the most important factors in setting price is avoiding stock outs. If you run out of inventory, customers have to buy from someone else. You lose market share and the sales rank of your product plummets. Most sellers are having products manufactured in China or Vietnam, floated over on a container ship, trucked to a prepping facility, then shipped to an Amazon warehouse.
