It's called runaway inflation. You think it's bad now, wait another couple of years until the just before the end of *****'s term. I have a sneaking suspicion we're going to find out what it felt like in pre-WWII Germany, and not so long ago in Argentina. Hyperinflation is a pension and savings killer.
And who do you suppose will be getting all the blame laid on them?..."what goes around comes around"
I know where that picture was taken but don't remember taking it.
The cost of tools adds up fast. Then figure solvent tank, drill press, 12-ton press, hydraulic hose fitting press, welder, generator, air compressor. Now fill it with nuts, bolts, hose ends, fittings, miscellaneous other hardware, chemicals, etc. It gets to $150k without trying very hard.

I'd be WAY surprised if your figure wasn't low, and you had quite abit more in a mobile shop like that.
