"You can sit around at home till Doomsday and the prices at the pumps will stay fairly low, incessantly tempting you to travel. But the moment you decide to take off somewhere and head out on your trip, the price for a gallon of gas will go right through the roof!"
Gas-prices seemed fairly "stable" all summer, and so I delayed a road-trip for a while to "save up" or "accumulate" a number of errands so that hopefully my trip would be more cost-effective with regards to gas-consumption, but then when I stopped to fill up my tank in the morning when I was first heading out, the price had suddenly jumped over a quarter higher per gallon! Sounds like a classic case of "Murphy's Law of Gasoline Prices" to me!
The price you pay for eating or drinking something foul, causing uncontrollable diarrhea. A variation on the "iron price".
I ate some of that suspect kimchi and spent the rest of the afternoon paying the porcelain price.

If a beloved restaurant or diner 80 or over 100 years old can be saved, a restaurant 60 years old doesn't have to get torn down either. In reality, the owners don't want to sell their business, they are forced to by the maneuvering of people looking to benefit from the coronavirus restrictions and the resulting downward spiral of the people trying to meet unrealistic expectations (the same kinds of people that benefit from the restrictions made the restrictions, mandates, laws, and rules to dictate people's fates to them and replace these beloved businesses with something closer to their own image).
Price's Chicken Coop didn't have a realistic chance to make it through the coronavirus, neither do many other longtime businesses, restaurants, bars, and retailers. It's the small businesses, the mom and pop businesses and their customers that feel the pinch when the people behind making the rules, laws, mandates, and restrictions try to squeeze all the life out of them, it isn't the new startup online business run by some outsider looking for people's support in their new market that is going to take a loss. It's the new guard trying to force out the old, and walk all over what's left of the old. Out with the old, in with the new is their motto, and if people don't wake up and fight, if they keep doing what they are told, they will no longer have homes or businesses to guard/protect.

When you live in Louisiana or Houston, TX, the swamplands of America, and call around for contractors for various needs, and get outrageous and pulled right out their behind prices for the same job in the same market and get low and highs that are 2x or 4x each other and the lows are still a rip off, like $2500 for replacing a 32ft sewer line when one offers to do the digging part as an investor ourselves and have the master plumber supervise the actual parts where the pipe that is trashed needs to be replaced.
Or anything else, fencing, grading, drainage, you name it and in this swampland you will get screwed with froggy prices.
Customer/investor: Hi contractor, quote me a 7" cedar fence
Contractor: $13000 (when the labor cost and material cost is covered under $5000, perhaps a lot lower)
Investor: Your swamp ass and your froggy prices. GTFO
