Price gouging is rising the price of a product above market price.
But what is the market price? If people are willing to pay for it then its the market price. So its adjusting the price to the current demand. There are times where this is unethical for example profiting from wars and disasters, but generally this is how things go.
I am not sure. If I understood correctly then you separate between price gauging and currency devaluation. But even in the most perfect currency devaluation, where every one in the supply chain would increase their price by exactly the rate of inflation. What would happen to everyones profits? They would also go up.
I keep thinking about a conversation I had with someone that you should replaced your shoes every few hundred kilometers, and based on the number they gave me I would have to buy new shoes every two months. I took this as a challenge to wear my shoes till the bittter end. In the last two and a half years I had to reglue some spots and by now the soles are worn through on most parts, so it is getting time. But why cant I repair and jeep using them for longer?
I just moved to a new house, and after setting up my washing machine it now shakes a lot while running, like it moves itself 3 or 4 inches sometimes. It seems to really shake for a 5-15 seconds then runs normal for a while. No real discernible pattern....
If it is a new washing machine there are breaks screwed into the back of the machine.
They are put there so the drum does not move during shipping from the factory to the customer, maybe they were also put in when you moved. If they remain in the washing machine motor is fighting against the break pads and the machine will shake violently. Please look at the manual or search on the internet how to take them out.
