The greed thing seems to be rampant. When is enough, enough? That goes for money, fabric or anything else you can think of. People seem to think that whoever dies with the most, wins. That is just wrong! When it comes down to it, I could quilt quite a while with what I have. Would it be exactly what I wanted at the moment, maybe not, but I could make it work. If we work strictly on supply and demand, eventually the prices would have to come down. Maybe we should have a six month moratorium on buying anything that isn't an absolute necessity. This is not to punish anyone, but to let all manufacturers know that we are not going to put up with rising costs anymore. There are very few of us that couldn't stand to live more frugally. We have all gotten used to the "I want it and I want it now" mentality. We need to really take some lessons from our parents and grandparents.
