Mike replied to a thread Magico Pricing in Magico

Cables I’ll leave alone. But generally, everything is affected by inflation. Everything. The bulk dog food we buy was always $99. For years. It’s now $140. It went $120, $130, $140. Inflation is the biggest middle class tax. Look at the price...

Fair question. Well, boxes are not newspapers. It would seem obvious to me that a heavy package is not something to toss around but maybe I need to read the fine print. Sorry I communicated this event here. Peace out.

Exactly! The doorbell camera is not hiding. To me, it shows a lazy worker who is just putting in his time. It’s like a waitress dropping your plate in front of you while reaching across your wife’s face. No care or pride in the work.
