Finance and economy my arena. Bottom line. Stop paying it. We the consumer our own worst enemy. So long as the demand accepts the heighten prices they will keep rising. Although to some extent unavoidable because their cost also rise but I'm sure there's gauging going on or at a minimum recovery for losses during 2020. Why best reset is a recession. Empty pocket consumers can no longer hurt themselves yet don't see one coming.
Try API. Not precise. Close enough. Been using it since the 80s, although that also has gone up.
Few, if any, companies in this industry lost money from 2020. The hobby had the largest growth and influx of money it has ever seen. It’s why all the major players sold out. One big retail shop didn’t grow well with the others so they sold as well.
