They're talking about almost doubling the price. People are willing to pay more, just not that much more.

The reality of the situation is that America is literally the richest country in the world per person. There's no reason for everyone to feel like they can't afford American made products other than wealth inequality.

They almost doubled the price, but it cost them 3x more to make

They talk about maintaining their margins. I'm curious if they're talking percentage-wise or dollar-per-unit profit.

I think "margins" might imply percentage, but I Am Not A Businessman. I would be interested to see a full cost breakdown. I bet they're saving on shipping! Lol
