The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Limit of two posts per person per day.

Owner: Idiots. This won't rise your salaries, it'll just rise the prices.
Prices rise independent of logic. Many times, it’s been shown to be caused by greed; current events just serve as an excuse.
Audit all supply chain companies.
Audit? What for? Ok, supply warehouse "Scrooge McDuck" adds 40% to the merchandise price. What next?
A variety of things, but to pick one: Some companies have been collecting all parts of particular sources to serve as monopolies. Others collude with their former competitors, using timed price fixing to apply higher prices with no alternative options available.
All of these actions are illegal, though often hard to nail down and prove. They get much easier if an investigative team can read every email written in regards to pricing.
Even Donald Trump has allegedly attempted to combat these schemes, though it remains to be seen if that’s just lip service to his voters.
