Quoted from jgentry:I live in the same general area. While labor costs haven't doubled they have skyrocketed here. The price of a lower end hourly employee is $6+ per hr more than precovid. Labor costs in my field are up 30-45% depending on the position and the applicant. That's may not be double but that is a huge jump and will continue to drive the costs of good up. I'm not saying it's a good or bad thing. It just is what it is.

I still remember my $3800 Iron Man and still have my $5500 Met Premium. Ahh, the good old days. When MSRP was the just a random number that nobody paid.

Quoted from Monster_Bash:

I paid $6800 for my Met LE delivered. If you paid 6400 for a premium...you got screwed
