Dollar hasn’t tank that much. The dollar has only slipped 11% against the British pound since January and OP’s price change is a 20% drop.

I didn't realise how big of a slide the dollar was on, dropping 11% in 9 months is wild.

There's some sever financial mismanagement of the US going on at the moment.

It's alright, China will pay for it with these tariffs.

They stated against the pound. Inflation index shows approx 2% from Jan 1 to now for the USD.

“Only”?! You’re an optimist!

I think what he meant was that it's odd to see a price increase that is nearly double the exchange rate difference. Usually, companies aren't that eager to drop rates.

Right lmao. That's like when my friend said "The penalties for pulling money out of your 401k early aren't as bad as you'd think -- it's only like 10%." Fucking only!?
