I know, Gran. I was pretty stunned to get the extra charges.
Here’s the thing......if they truly are running into shortages and have to pay higher prices because they have to go to different suppliers, then how long can they expect to survive in business if they have to swallow these costs? I do understand. They are saying they have already absorbed the first 4 surcharges, but can’t continue to and stay in business. I get that. It’s the covid crap and lack of supplies because of it. In the end, who pays for that? We all do, I guess.....plus I’m not in the position to cancel. Frustrating. It’s Fairmont Homes in Indiana.
I do understand that Fairmont can’t keep absorbing the higher costs and continue to stay in business, frustrating all the way around.
Oldest son has lost building jobs as people are postponing building a new home due to the rising costs, can’t blame them either.
People keep comparing this time with the Carter years, which I remember very well, and I don’t think one can compare Carter’s ineptness and micro-managing to cause all the problems back then with what is happening right now.
Biden is using COVID to ruin our economy, never let a crisis go to waste, decisions he has made have only made things worse.
Under Trump we were on the way back when he left office.
Biden crushed that!
