I didn't notice any prices going down. I notice that the industry is quick
to raise prices when costs go up, but doesn't make much haste to lower
prices when costs go down.   :-(

I think it has something to do with that cornerstone of capitalism: GREED.
Why pass on lower costs to your customers, when you can keep that money
yourself?
