Ugh....

As the dollar becomes worth less the prices rise.

Apparently as the quality of service becomes less as well. I saved up and waited for months to find my wife the exact KitchenAid she wanted. A lavender colored one with a 5qt mixer and grinder attachment. I couldn't find one in that color locally but found it online. After 4 years of asking for one, the money was there and found the exact one she wanted. I ordered it in time for our anniversary earlier this month... then UPS lost it! The shipper has no more in that color left in stock. I had to sneak out the night before and get a plan B anniversary gift last minute. It's been over a week in "investigation" of the claim to try to find it. They've offered to pay out the claim, but I don't care about the money. They shafted me on our 5 year anniversary. I will NEVER forgive UPS for losing that package.

Rather elementary.
I can think of a half dozen reasonable justifications for a price hike right off the top of my head.
If devaluation was an important concept than maybe running deficits hasn't been such a good idea as of late.
It is important to stick to ones principles through thick and thin.

Be patient. i just ‘celebrated’ my 47th and I had to remind my wife that it was in fact our anniversary date. You ever see those ‘feel good’ we’ve been married a 100 years news articles? Guaranteed most of them haven’t remembered the last 50. The mixer will arrive long after you recall who ordered it and why.

No, never read any of those articles. I don't think anyone has ever been married for 100 years. I think 86 is the record and maybe has high as 90 unofficially.

I am sure Tucker has no love for them either.
