There's also the law of diminishing returns, i.e. what you pay twice the price for won't necessarily be twice as good, and most of the time won't be.

They're out eating sushi and steak, shopping at the luxury goods stores, flaunting their cash and contemplating their next rate increase.

What is going on with the rates?  A month ago, $500 an hour for highly rated associates; today $700 an hour and, for the lucky fellow, $1,000 for 90 minutes.  Amazing  

Rate increases are related to inflation in general and  supply vs demand also is in play !!!

"The annual inflation rate for the United States is 1.7% for the 12 months ended February 2021 after climbing 1.4% previously, according to U.S. Labor Department data published on March 10."

Perhaps the reopening of the local bar and restaurant scene (non p4p availability) will eventually affect the supply side of the equation as people come out of hiding....

You guys are thinking like you're Ronald Reagan (or his handlers, I don't really think poor ole Ronnie had a clue) with your supply side theories. Economics can always be demand driven - as long as your 'need' for P4P is greater than your marginal propensity to save, and you pay a higher than equilibrium price, the suppliers would be stupid not to collect the premium for their services. Show some fiscal restraint, lower the demand curve, and the price will come down. Pretty basic.
And in general inflation is very low, it's just provider inflation that is spiraling upward in ATL. DFW is undergoing just the opposite right now - extremely fine providers @ bargain prices. Might be time to widen your market pentation (pun intended).
Be safe...
