Is it just me or do prices seem higher then normal right now?

Everything is priced higher nowadays. Cars, gas, food - you name it. Global pandemics, amongst other things, have this affect.Is it just me or do prices seem higher then normal right now?
The auto industry is just the most visible case of the failure of the "just in time" supply chain philosophy. A disruption somewhere creates a "butterfly effect" elsewhere.Microchips shortage. Not a good time to buy a car.
The auto brands aren't really complaining because the chip shortage controls supply and demand and allows price inflation. I think the chip shortage hit and car companies had a eureka moment. There's going to be significant profit made.I just placed an order for my JL and was told Jeep has taken 2 price increases in the last 6 months. Crazy world we live in right now.
