[QUOTE="masterswimmer, post: 8143597, member: 102022"]Prices have become ridiculous, on everything. Try buying a new car, if you can even find what you want on the lot. The same food shopping I did pre 'pandemic' I now pay easily 30% more for. Some even higher, like seafood. Sea scallops used to be $18-$20/lb. Now it's $33/lb. Beef? Lol. No further comment on that. Gasoline, has fluctuated forever. However, with today's new work from home mentality, electric vehicles, restricted travel, engine efficiency, the use of petro fuels has dropped. Yet prices are as high as I can remember them being. How about empty shelves or just supply chain disruptions that drive prices up because demand is constant but supply is literally gone to zero on certain products. And those products that are still available have gone up because the cost of getting the product to the shelf has increased dramatically. I can go on, but it's a depressing conversation I'd rather cut short.[/QUOTE]
