Only temporairally. Prices would fall back down again as competition theoretically kicks in.

I doubt prices will fall now that various companies have seen what they can get away with, but they’ve likely level off as inflation falls back to normal now that the pandemic excuse is run out.

Pegging the minimum wage to inflation would checks notes only make the poor richer, and we can't have that
