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.
Wow……so funny how some see things. Lower inflation, where do you shop, maybe if we were able to finish the pipelines we wouldn’t be over paying today and low employment really…….people are so under employed.
Time to remove the rose color glasses
Yes prices started raising on cars, golf karts, and major appliances in the early part of 2021 because of supply chain.
So YES everything is over priced since 2020 when you know who started.
