President Biden held a meeting with White House officials Monday to discuss the administration's plan for combating rising prices as inflation continues to surge throughout the U.S., reaching levels not seen in 40 years.

In remarks ahead of the meeting, the president touted an executive order he signed in July aimed at increasing competition by cracking down on larger firms in industries that the administration sees as too "consolidated," referring to the issue as a decades-old problem the federal government needs to address.

3. Stop paying people to stay home. This is causing product shortages but not inflation.

In the world of supply and demand, and its affect on the price of goods and services, doesn't it end up contributing to "inflation" statistics?

Last time I looked, Safeway and Albertsons were owned by a big heavyset man in NYC, a friend of Trump’s. Safeway used to be the worst store in town, but apparently he hired smart product managers and now they have great stuff. Customers have been commenting on it to each other in the checkout lines.

...... wife picked through what was available and found a couple with decent marbling .....

....... Yup ..... We did the same ..... They used to sell them at the counter only and you were able to pick from the fresh cut steaks on display ... After picking the steaks they would wrap them in brown butcher paper and hand them to you .... Unfortunately now they sell the cuts that are on sale separately and are not as fresh and are packaged and wrapped in cling wrap .... But if you get there early enough you can find some decently marbled steaks .... The ones we had this past weekend happened to be the most tender and juiciest we have ever had ...... We were very pleasantly surprised.

... FYI ... The choice cut was still available at the counter for about $9/lb which is still a great bargain!!!
