Yeah, it's kind of impossible to argue that production costs haven't gone up for manufacturers. I have an employee who we need to still go into the office for some manual work 2x a week - he asked that we pay for an Uber for him because he doesn't want to ride public transport.

That's just one of many additional costs companies that struggle to continue working are paying.

Some degree (within reason) of increased prices for an high-in-demand product is a necessary if you want to convince employees to work longer hours and through tough conditions.

...not to mention many of their underlying fabric costs are probably higher as well.
