$3.99 is the going rate for a Big Mac.
If a person is willing to pay $3.99 for that garbage -- they will pony up $4.16.

Gas goes up $.50-.75 a gallon and we pay it without thinking.
To be fair, I was told by one of our economic seers rising prices are an indicator of a growing economy.
Or does that only apply while enabling / i mean defending the corporate welfare state/ investor class

A basic lesson in economics.

If a smart company could raise prices 4.3% and it NOT hurt their sales, they would have already done it.
