This episode is a dialogue between Pedro and Elisa about companies that increase their prices suddenly. Let’s get started.
Pedro: Why are you changing the prices on all of those items in the store?
Elisa: Haven’t you heard? There’s a hurricane coming. People will be stocking up on basic necessities.
