Lots of postings on price increases, thought to be price gouging. Just before the 1st of the year, I picked up a new sickel for a friends 492 New Holland, $324.26 was the price. Last week I was going for some other things and another friend asked if I would pick up his parts, happened to be another 492 sickel. This one was $410.00. Same part number, 6 months later.

The price of everything is up.
Food is getting so expensive if something is not done, we will have people going hungry.
Fuel is getting so expensive some are having a hard time affording enough to get to work.
Yet the company I work for picks up a trailer load of King Kooker outdoor cooking pots like you would use to fry a turkey from Metal Fusions and two trailer loads of fancy BBQ grills from BBQ guys every day.
Not to mention you can not find a empty seat on a airplane even on the red eye flight.

I was in the NAPA store today. Bought my usual can of spray primer that costs $6.99. Today when the counter guy scanned it was $9.99. Then I went to the grocery store. American cheese that has been $3.49 a pound is $5.49 I left it. The turkey lunch meat had had been $6.99 was $8.99. Then to the gas station where gas was $4.79. The guy next to me filled his motor cycle. He was complaining $20 for three gallons!

at 6+ dollars a gal everything is going up and up
The fuel surcharge for the week of 6/15 to 6/22 was 53.30%
That means if the normal charge to haul your load is $1000.00 this past week you were charged $1533.00 to haul that same load. A year ago it was 30.00% or $1300.00 and two years ago it was 25.60% or $1256.00
$277.00 spread over every item in a truck does not cover the kind of price increases we are seeing.
Lets say we are hauling frozen chickens from the southeast out to California.
About 2500 miles.
Lets say the load pays in the $5000 to $6000 range
$277 times 6 is $1662.00
So this load will pay the truck $1662 more today than it did two years ago.
Sounds like a lot.
But 40,000 lbs of 2.5 lb chickens would be 16,000 chickens in that load.
$1662 divided over 16,000 chickens is less than 11 cents a chicken.

Can't get a flight because of employee shortage.
Remember when the airlines fired their best people because they refused the ***?

People should have been watching the prepper shows on TV,they could have learned about how the chickens sometimes come home to roost.

Mee too lol
Kinda like saying the companies are making record revenues.. so we should shut them down... Inflation is everyone's enemy. Nationalizing and shutting down companies, with record inflation did not help out the folks in Venezuela. The communist ideology of killing the horse the pulls the plow does NOT work.
