While I don’t disagree that corporate greed and corruption plays a part, claiming raw material cost have not increased is factually incorrect. I work in procurement/supply chain. You would be shocked at how much various raw material has increased in price over the last few years. Some of it is the rarity of certain metals and other Covid related issues. Others I’m sure is other companies gouging us.

Yup! I work in manufacturing of servers and NAS systems and there has been significant delays on many different parts due to worldwide shortages. It’s been going on for 2 years and will continue until at least mid 2023.
