Yeah, it's sad. A lot of people in my neighborhood complain about grocery prices. My neighbor said they can't afford to invest with these grocery prices. They're selling their house to move in with family. They have fancy cars, fancy clothes, and fancy toys, but the credit crunch is obvious. The fiat spigot is closing.

I buy extra snacks because some of my son's friends come over just to eat. I assume it's because they don't have snacks at home, but I don't ask.

I've worked part time for most of my life, but my life is awesome. It kind of makes me feel bad for people stuck on the fiat treadmill.

I don't think free food or price controls are the answer, but most people assume the government is benevolant and all-powerful. It's difficult to convince them otherwise.
