The 1% could care less. What does a 900% increase in water prices mean when you are after all, one of the 1%?

Noted that last water bill had increased by 20%, trash collection up 20%, food up about 30% and we haven't seen the beginning yet.

The next whop for inflation shall be food again except this time, are we looking at prices that are 900% more?

I spied a sack of organic potatoes the other day. Four pounds for $10.00. Needless to say, I did not buy any of them.

and no, it isn't going to get any better any time soon, that much is a guarantee!
