True, but everything is becoming expensive! I just paid $17 a dozen for jars that used to be about $10 a dozen. A 70% increase in about a year, but we only have 7 % inflation, uh yeah right....

They always lie about inflation. Well, lie is a bit of a strong word but only a bit. Some things go down in price and they always subtract the cheaper things from the more expensive items. The inflation rate is an average of price increases across a set of commodities. There are other pressures causing some prices to increase in price. Like all the preppers hoarding the jars over the last few years. Plus manufacturing is down and they stopped manufacturing GEM lids so a lot of people need to replace their jars.
They don't include groceries or fuel in the inflation calculations, so the term lying is appropriate and accurate!
The price on jars skyrocketed when the supply chain dried up. Part was scared people buying everything they could find, but mostly it was caused by foreign manufacturing with the travel problems inherent in that process.
Once a country stops manufacturing products, their supply chain will never truly recover. Enhanced production to help the supply chain stabilize is no longer possible, so it is a self fulfilling problem!
