That is not a typo, it went up from 21 to 53 dollars.
But for you Jan 2021 is special. In fact there was a tough time for the economy climbing out of the hole we were in on January 2021. Now we have lowered inflation, record stock prices, no recession, low unemployment. The results have far exceeded the expectations of the experts.
I think when a golf cart costs more than a new car that may represent specific corporate greed, not the general state of the economy.
