How Ford is fighting dealership inflation, with a side of Tesla.

Problem for Ford: if they restrict price markups too much then a third party with cash at hand will buy at prescribed dealer price and flip/resell the unit to a regional market with the most demand at "auction price" value.

I was in college during Nixon's wage and price controls. During the summers I worked at the grocery store I had worked at during high school. When the store put items on a weekly sale customers would complain the next week when the price went back up to the usual price.

This is old news, but it's worth remembering and referencing every time a Republican complains about "Bidenflation" or whatever.

It now takes a six-figure salary for a family of 4 to make ends meet in Hawai‘i

The minimum income needed to pay for basic essentials as a family of four in Hawaii has ballooned to $104,052 a year, according to a report released Wednesday by the nonprofit Aloha United Way.
The rapid rise in Hawaii’s cost of living — an 18% jump in the basic survival budget for families and a 26% increase for individuals between 2019 and 2021 — is dramatic, even to researchers who had anticipated seeing an increase.
“I think for all of us it was more significant than we had even imagined,” said Suzanne Skjold, chief operating officer of Aloha United Way.
Workers assist in sorting packaged food at the Hawaii Foodbank warehouse located at 2611 Kilihau Street.
The report released Wednesday is part of an effort to track the needs of people living in poverty but also those who are overlooked by federal poverty statistics but are still living paycheck-to-paycheck — a group referred to by the acronym ALICE: asset limited, income constrained, and employed.
Around 41% of Hawaii residents fall below the ALICE threshold, with 12% living under the federal poverty line — the highest percentage in more than a decade.

Not sure this is new information. Us po-folks who grew up and live on the mainland always assumed those persons in Hawaii were wealthy to afford that lifestyle.Lani wrote: ↑Fri May 12, 2023 1:59 am It now takes a six-figure salary for a family of 4 to make ends meet in Hawai‘i

It's been expensive forever, but this is a big jump. We also still have empty shelves after the pandemic. I was lucky to get a good raise a few months ago, so I can continue to save for retirement - which is coming up soon.
