some companies exploited the situation to significantly raise prices, often well beyond their increased costs.

I have to wonder how this person knows what any given company's cost increases have been, to even make this statement.

Seems like a little anti-capitalist, class warfare rabble rousing to me.

“I have to wonder how this person knows what any given company’s cost increases have been, to even make this statement.”

It is extremely easy to bean count any industry from the fields and mines to the shelf. Everyone who has gone into business starts by doing this before they even open their doors or offer the product or service. You shouldn’t even think about getting into the business if you can’t.
