It's a shame we can't just blame this all on stupid government decisions of the past but we can't. Nowadays any possible employee with no talent whatsoever still thinks he deserves a living wage with full benefits, never to be expected to work over 40 hours a week and god forbid they would be expected to work on a government holiday. Laziness and greed rank higher than all the other explanations combined but are the least accepted.

While we all realize that Smittybilt is not manufactured in the U.S. they do in fact employ quite a few Americans.

I run a Smittybilt bumper..... because I like the looks better than the other options out there, so I guess I'm a horrible American.

Inflation. That's what happens when you have a currency that isn't worth the paper it's printed on. Just ask the citizens of Venezuela - now a socialist dump as their currency crashed over the last year.

Look at India right now as their goobermint is now confiscating gold and limiting it's citizens on how much they are allowed to have as their currency crashes.

Hell, ask Mexican citizens right now as they are now hoarding as much fuel as they can as their peso slides, gas stations refusing to stay open as riots break out, and the citizens are raiding ports/warehouses to steal toys of all things.

May as well spend $100k for that JKU now while your dollar (as you know it) still has what little purchasing power it has left.

Ball massaging seats are something I could definitely buy into... regardless of manufacturing origin.
