I don't think this is 'inflation'. A few companies have realized that there is effectively no consumer protections when it comes to price gouging, they will continue to raise prices until they experience some pain in this regard.

The issue is an anti-trust issue and consolidation.

It seems kind of unlikely that companies are just now becoming aware of this fact. It might be the case that their expectations for what the American consumer will take have shifted, though…
