I respectfully disagree. Inflation is caused by devaluation of our currency
and anything that increases the costs of doing business without adding value to the good or service being offered. Free enterprise on the other hand tends to lower costs due to increased competition in the marketplace. Taxes, regulatory compliance, and other costs PREVENT companies from entering the marketplace or at least slow them down. Remember that business are not charities. They exist to make a profit. If the profits are too low to be worth-while then why enter the market? The strength Elecraft brings is customer loyalty. -----Original Message----- From: Elecraft [mailto:[hidden email]] On Behalf Of Rose Sent: Thursday, September 24, 2015 12:08 PM Cc: Elecraft Reflector Subject: [Elecraft] OT: Price Increase Alert for mid October Inflation is an absolutely guaranteed byproduct of our free enterprise system! 73!

Tell that to the banks.
It now takes 7,200 years for my money to double with the interest they are paying me. It used to take 12 years or less.

The banks are doing what they are told to do by the Central Bank. Can you say “financial repression”?

Not only that, but inflation, at roughly an average rate of 2 percent per year
is the target that the Fed is trying to achieve for producing a strong economy. phil, K7PEH > On Sep 24, 2015, at 9:08 AM, Rose <[hidden email]> wrote: > > Inflation is an absolutely guaranteed byproduct of our free > enterprise system! > > 73! > > Ken - K0PP > > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > On Thu, Sep 24, 2015 at 9:59 AM, Bill <[hidden email]> wrote: > >> Inflation is part of life.

I am a lover of Elecraft products, I even had the opportunity of seeing how engineers work and visited the HQ.They all do an excellent work!!
I wish you can find a solution for this situation and things calm down. I do understand prices could have to be revised and go up. Elecraft is outstanding quality, and you have to pay for it. That is how things are. All the best for Elecraft team.

Is that the same as writing checks your body can't cash?
