    We have words for this already. Corporate greed, price gouging and lying come to mind. No need to dress it up as an inflation thing. X-flation is the x-gate of the 2020s

      Normally corporate greed is met with “Fuck you. Don’t be so greedy. You will accept this [lower] price or else.”

      Inflation is when that turns into “I know you are being greedy, but that is one stylish hat you are wearing, and for that reason I will gladly accept your [high] price!”
