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.
