re: Zillow report illuminates how bad things have gotten under Biden.

I’m sorry SFP but you have no idea what you are talking about. I own a business that relies heavily on energy. Our fuel cost for our semi trucks have almost doubled (increase of 7k a month). I do not try to make money on the freight of our products I just want to break even. Our profits are based on the margins put on our products. I had to increase freight rates to cover this additional cost. On average it is about 8% increase. My electric bill and natural gas bill for the plant has increased about 38% since 2021. That equates to approximately 8k more per month. Had to cover this increase in the margins on our products which increased over all price by almost 10%. Freight for ingredients to make our products have increased about the same. Input prices have added an additional 8% that we had to pass down to our customers. Energy alone has caused our products prices to increase by over 20%. Our margins remain the same but our customers are paying a lot more for the products. That 1% increase of total inflation from energy is a pipe dream chief.
