Inflation here? gas/grocery prices just continue to climb

yes a google search confirmed. I was just curious as to the way he presented it, as if it had to do with something "more" than simple supply/demand.

I mean, we phased out r22 ( to be fully phased out by 2023 ) so that, in and of itself, would lead to higher pricing since r410a is now the refrigerant du jour.

Then toss in Chinas rotating lock downs over last 2 years ( and still going ), shipping costs and logistics and viola - here we are.

Yeah, we are all learning the downsides of our whole just-in-time, zero inventory, complex supply chains. They are tremendously efficient when they work, but...

As a whole, I feel like most of our systems do not properly factor-in or price risk.
