Jack Grey Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 So apparently prices of everything have to go up because a few drones and missiles have been fired at some ships But NATO has sent the best navy ships in the world and the Suez Canal is still open and its business as usual Are businesses just taking advantage of another conflict to falsely inflate prices and profits?
