Yes I saw that and these meddling politicians who have little realization with the real world around them or think it revolves around them exempting themselves with forced EV that doesn’t fit everyone and exaggerated milage gas centered cars that don’t even have room for a spare tire and if one blows then what and exaggerated regulations they come up with didn’t help either. That’s not to mention the merging of parts of the car and added complications increasing vulnerability and difficulty replacing parts now more costly when they’re merged into units it’s giving a real headache to the mechanics. That mixed with these parts or units only made for a few years then what. If those 1950s cars in Cuba were made before political trouble like they are today they would no longer still be running.
To most were already in inflation. Just one more thing is too much when for many it’s already too much. This rise in metals was not caused solely by inflation because those real numbers have been suppressed by bankers for decades but demand and increasing shortages. That parabolic rise went unnoticed by the public. That’s not to say that future prices in certain things might cost a little more down the road.
Both politicians and bankers made a similar mistake thinking they could suppress the prices of the metals but also focused too much on non tangible virtual unreality. Bitcoin for instance was intended by the buyers to be out of bank and government control or diluted and look what happened. Their pretend money bank went belly up and nothing tangible to back it up or recover. No car, house, business, product, just an idea, another one of their bad ideas.
