    Fair enough, you could say the prices are “inflated”. There’s a big difference though between inflation as the devaluation of currency that’s been slowly happening “forever” and inflation in the sense of a guy selling shit simply racking up his prices and putting the surplus in his greedy little pockets. Of course you can choose to use the exact same word for both cases if you wish

      It wasn’t the best word choice. I did say ‘the’ inflation to try and separate it a bit, but should have rephrased.
