Most of these reasons are just excuses made by people who simply don't understand, or believe in Capitalism. In capitalism the market sets the price; not the provider. If the prices go up 10%, and the market rejects that price, the prices will go back down to where they were. It's the job of the providers to find the maximum price that the market is willing to pay for the item. What it costs to produce that item has very little meaning.

Of course if that item costs more to make than what the market will pay for it, then the item simply will not be made. However to suggest that changing the cost of the production of the item has any effect on the market price shows ignorance on capitalist principals. I will point out although that if the consumer is earning more money they are willing to spend more on a given item. So if the average worker is making more money of course prices are going to increase on a commodity like Chipotle burritos.

I also want to add the old wise advice of: If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. While I don't necessarily agree this applies every time, there are often times I find myself in disagreement and I can't find the nice words to rebute the statement. Or perhaps it's a complicated issue that I've replied to months/years ago and don't want to re-write my complex thoughts (or don't have the time). Yet I gotta be honest, leaving a down vote and showing myself the door is often the best course of action.

Related, I also gotta say I find Facebook's Hide Post feature sorely lacking at bookmarking sites like Snapzu. It may be a post I just don't want to deal with at the time, or especially with how personal relationships are on Facebook you just don't want your opinion to be an issue in that relationship. Or perhaps a buddy posted a tasteful pic for an underboob that you want to make sure doesn't find it's way onto your desktop at work while the boss walks by. Perhaps having a similar function at Snapzu would be appreciated as well.
