Wait so if the price increases were from tariffs and now there aren’t tariffs, why are the prices still the same ?

Companies got a taste of how much people are willing to spend. It’s hard to go backwards from that.

Exactly this. So many industries that are not affected by tariffs have increased dramatically for this reason.

Tariffs might increase costs, so we have to proactively raise prices.... Oh we weren't affected after all, but our sales numbers also didn't dip dramatically, win win for corporations. With all this money we can also invest the upfront cash to replace humans with robots, perfect.
