MODERATORS
'My business is literally ruined.'
Or
'0.15 is 15%, so we need to raise our prices 15% (plus our standard markup (which is a minimum 100% markup)). The Left is ruining the economy for everyday people like you!'
No no, it's 0.15%.
Yes, but businesses can say that without the consumer knowing better.
They absolutely cannot. Have you seen this somewhere?
For the first half of just plain incorrect math, I'll point to the Verizon support call how they can't figure out the difference between dollars and cents...
For the second half I'll point to deranged salesmen like Mike Lindell.
What laws or rules are preventing a businesses from raising prices for any bullshit reason they like?

Laws to prevent price increases? No.
Laws to prevent lies in advertising? Yes.
Unfortunately they're usually smart enough to keep the connection vague.
