Prices for the consumer will not fall unless the economy enters a deflationary phase which economists tend to view as negative.

Consider an example. Back in or after the GFC oil spiked higher and airlines added fees that were implemented so they could “survive.” All those fees are still being charged today (baggage fees, etc) to my knowledge. Once an industry manages to condition consumers to certain fees, price points, etc they will not roll those changes back until forced to by market conditions or regulation.

The pilots union at Southwest was not backing down on the company mandate to receive the COVID vaccine. It was well researched and pretty simple thesis. The company needed humans to fly their planes and 60% of the pilots said..nope.

I just got lucky on the Christmas computer cancelation and delay fiasco that dovetailed into the position.

Rather be lucky than good.
