Agreed. These a-holes might just keep the current prices and increase their margins

As long as demand doesn’t fall, they have no incentive to. Until people stop spending frivolously on items they KNOW are overpriced, then prices will remain elevated.

Obviously monopolistic enterprises can force you to buy, but so long as there’s competition in a marketplace, prices will eventually find an equilibrium with demand that makes sense for producer and consumer.
