What numbers am I backing up?
Should the price have remained the same? Or was 2022 not the highest year for USD inflation in 40 years (see: your own source.)
Is a company only allowed to increase their prices at a rate pegged to monetary inflation?
Whats your point here? We said they broke their promise (bait and switch, because they knew it was not assured expectation for price and delivery).
You say they have the right to brake promises, which is true.
So we agree they made a promise, broke it and raised the price beyond inflation, likely due to screwing up the production cost targets. All of that after they took reservations.
So we agree but you don't like that we're judging them badly for it?
