There was a thread in the winter here with guys talking about paying $3K+ to get permanent Christmas lights installed.
Dude, the rising prices are very hard on businesses, too. My revenue is up 10% during the first seven months of my fiscal year and net is down 5%. Plus, I know thing are tougher on my employees, so I just raised our labour rate and prices on many of my products because I know my team needs more and I need to set up to give raises (hopefully within a month). It's really hard.

For sure some guys are profiting off the crazy inflation, but I guarantee it's not Joe's Residential Air Conditioning Shop.
