Subscribe and Save items have a price increase

"Hi <you>,

The following Subscribe & Save subscriptions in your October 31 delivery have experienced a price increase. Review your subscriptions and manage your deliveries below."

"have experienced a price increase" sounds like dissociation.

This is outrageous, companies are price gouging, COVID has been over for several years, where is the federal government we elected?

This is the government that was elected, consumers are the sucker under it. Better luck next election cycle. Midterms are coming.

Is this the first time you have ever seen a price increase on a subscription item? It's pretty routine.

This probably isn't about Covid (although Covid is still killing and disabling people). The prices that wholesalers pay for goods (Producer Price Index) went up a whole percent just last month, bringing their prices to 6% above where they were a year ago. So not all of it is price-gouging.

We already had one disastrous Trump administration. Why did you expect a second one to go any better? You elected this government with your eyes wide open.
