Elasticity is a measure of what effect a price change has on demand. Inelastic means the price can easily go up because the consumer has no choice....gas, cigarettes, aluminum
Passthrough measures what price increase can be passed to the buyer



Globe and Mail Opinion writer likened today's White House behaviour as like the goon instigating fights in the hockey game; when he’s on your team, you cheer. When he’s playing for the other guys, you’re incensed at the unsportsmanlike behaviour. But this isn’t hockey, and it isn’t a game. It’s the White House. And it’s an embarrassment.
