Yes, they make the choice to pass the costs on to the consumers.

Not to worry - some places are recording record profits - like oil companies and insurance companies.

More evidence that there is no such thing as a "law" of supply and demand and no such thing as prices just sort of magically rising and falling all by themselves.

A panda walks into a cafe. He orders a sandwich, eats it, then draws a gun and fires two shots in the air.
"Why?" asks the confused waiter, as the panda makes toward the exit. The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife manual and tosses it over his shoulder.
"I'm a panda," he says at the door. "Look it up."
The waiter turns to the relevant entry and, sure enough, finds an explanation.
"Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves."
