[QUOTE="John Klingenberg, post: 2470305, member: 107749"] I cant say I'm happy to pay their prices for hazmat items but they're not the only ones doing it. I boycotted forever Cheaper Than Dirt back in the 22lr shortages over their gouging. If enough people protest they'll pay in the long run. But note also our shifts in society are playing a role. People dont want to work unless they're getting a high wage. They're demanding to not work themselves to death to only afford beans and rice. Good for them. If they're buying fuel to drive to work it's less beans and rice on grocery day. Then theres the fact you just can't get anyone to work period. Have you tried to hire lately? It's nearly impossible, blue collar, white collar doesnt matter. You have to offer exceptional pay and benefits to hire a floor sweeper. No employees means you're over working the ones you have, paying over time/double time hurts. It also raises injuries, sick times which equals an absent employee you're still paying. Times are tough. I wont judge them just yet because times are unlike any times most of us have seen. I have a lot of friends in their 80s and they're perplexed too as to where we're headed. Hunker down and hold on. In truth, most of do this shooting thing as a hobby/lifestyle. Not many of us depend on this for our living, maybe 1%. Hobbies are the first thing to go in tough times and lifestyle adjustments come with hard times. I hope for better times but I think we're in for a long haul. My 2c [/QUOTE]
