Price Increases Hurt Entrepreneurs

The cost of gas and inflation not only affects us consumers but businesses as well. "From fuel to shipping costs to ingredients and raw materials, businesses costs are steadily rising, but so are the expenses that their customers are facing." If these businesses raise their prices too much --or too often-- then customers shop elsewhere. If they keep their prices low to suite their customers then they may run out of business. It's a loose-loose situation. There must be other alternatives or more inexpensive ways to get gas. This is outrageous! I'm a consumer and the inflation rates are ridiculous, something must be done!
