Prices are rising are so quickly that the material quotes are good only for a single day.

Is this the same in TV? Are new home prices there climbing substantially?

When will this subside?

Glad we bought in TV back when.

That is called inflation. The CPI consumer price index is up 4.2%.

When, will it subside? Beats me. Will it end well? I hope so but I don't think so.
