I just had dinner with a couple Chinese restaurant owners, they say wholesale food prices are killing them.
My favorite local hole-in-the-wall coffee shop has the sweetest Chinese owner. When I’m the first customer in on mornings, she tells me her food inflation stories. She even wants me to order one slice of toast if I don’t plan on eating two! Waste just kills her.
I have heard Brinker on and off for a decade or more. I find his show rather dry since I don’t have a whole lot of bread to shuffle around between accounts, but I digress. Bob Brinker can praise some market future index investment area with flying colors, then obliquely allude to the gross mismanagement of the government in another breath without connecting the two. He pretends like the collapse of the government under its own weight is a fantasy.
