All I am saying is that understanding the knock-on effects is harder than parroting ideological punch lines.

The problem that most of the people on here who have actually gone places and done things is that your scenario makes no sense.

You're giving the impression that finished costs are going up 25% because of a potential increase in ONE on the materials used that could have an increase.

As someone who has bought millions in Galvalume sheeting in my day, I know what unforseen cost increases can do on a material that requires little manufacturing costs. You end up eating the fact there was a strike somewhere and it went up 2 cents a pound

But..... that doesn't sound like the story you're painting. You're talking about machines for which (and I'll use a car for example) the cost of materials is about 20%. The math on your adder just doesn't work given this.

Hence why you're getting called a liar.
