    It’s not a mindless sort of belief - they want to believe. They’re believing as hard as they can, because the alternative is ruin.

    And this will only hurt them more, prices are just going to keep going up. Anyone who waits that extra week is paying more than anyone who already bought what they needed. The people who wait the longest will be hurt the most.

      For sure, people who didn’t plan ahead are now basically screwed. They were hoping prices would come down, but instead they just keep going up, and if they can’t afford current prices, they’re not going to be able to afford higher ones down the road.
