I will be raising prices tomorrow.
I will need to go up $2.00 per machine just to stay even!
I don't think that $5.00 for a toploader will be very popular.

It sounds a lot like what a private company would do. When the infrastructures need major upgrade, the old company takes all the blame and vanishes so that the new company can do the job - raise the price to cover the repair fees.
