Of course our paychecks are not going up dramatically as well, and so our standard of living is going to go down. We live at a time when 70 percent of Americans are already more financially stressed than they have ever been before, and now big corporations are going to be hitting us with a tsunami of enormous price hikes.

If prices of many imported goods go up by 5 or 10 percent, we can handle that.

But apparently Target is going nuts with their price hikes.  For example, it is being reported that the price of one popular USB-C cord is being increased by 80 percent…

Now, thanks to insider information from Target workers, the extent of the raises are becoming apparent. Staff say it is just the beginning.

A $9.99 USB-C cord from the store's in-house Heyday brand is now ringing up at $17.99, according to a self-identified employee on Reddit.

'It's happening,' the worker wrote, sharing a photo of the price tag update. 'All of Heyday is going up.'
