Nah I’m telling you what the salespeople for these companies have told my wife is the reason for the price increases. Salespeople suck but they’re not gonna lie about why prices increase.

Sales people ABSOLUTELY lie about why prices increase. We just had a deal go through to buy a new printer because the sales person was lying saying the price would increase June 1st, but spoiler, it didn't.

You’re buying one printer. My wife is buying $15 million worth of steel pipe. If they lie their company gets sued into oblivion. This isn’t some small time sales person.

And to add on, that’s one example I’ve given you of one supplied item. The same has occurred with every one of her suppliers. Either they’re all colluding across multiple different industries and companies, or you know, that’s the actual reason.
