Still no sticker shock, Janet?
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen was spotted stocking up on groceries on Saturday — after dismissing a question about inflation and rising food prices earlier this week.
Yellen, 77, and her husband, economist George Akerlof, stopped by a Giant Food store in Washington, DC, after grabbing lunch at Japanese restaurant Raku.
The millionaire couple had six security people in tow but pushed their own carts full of reusable Fresh Direct grocery bags out of the store after stocking up.
Yellen — who is worth an estimated $20 million — drew criticism this week when she appeared to dismiss concerns about rising grocery prices in the US.
“Have you been to the grocery store lately?” Yahoo Finance’s Jennifer Schonberger asked during the Monday sit-down.
“I sure have — I go every week,” Yellen replied.
“It’s sticker shock, isn’t it? Just when you look at shipping costs, those have come down, global food commodity prices have also come down, but food prices still remain high. Should the US invest in agriculture to boost the food supply in this country?” Schonberger asked.
Yellen, however, started to say “No” before Schonberger even finished the question.

” allow 2 of them to go buy their groceries for them”
That’s probably not allowed.
However, a maid or neighbor can buy groceries for them.
I’ve seen Kroger trucks delivering groceries in my area.
Paywalled, but you’ll understand the Arab hypocrisy problem quickly.
“Yahoo Finance’s Jennifer Schonberger”
…I would safely guess that Jennifer is as woke and lib as you can get.
Are there any $10,000 bills in circulation?
Interesting…”In some cases, a pristine $10,000 bill can be worth upwards of $140,000 on the open market. Meanwhile, bills in poor condition can still fetch $30,000.”
“I tend to think she is one of the better people”
No.such.thing.
When you loot the treasury, you can afford anything.
How much has Ensure gone up?
$100.00 bills are as high as we go now.
Old Yellen the mushroom head
How were oil prices “unsustainably low?”
Yellen looks like captain Kangaroo.
Exactly! "I don't see what the problem is. I can purchase plenty of groceries - oh, excuse me, butcher, I said TWO and a HALF inch Wagyu filet Mignon, not one and a half cuts - anyway, as you can see my cart is full." ~ Yellin' at the meat counter clerks.
Hell, even *I* don’t go actual shopping. I select off a list of the things I want, usually buy, and just drive there, they load it into my car, and I drive home.
Also, limits impulse buying!
If you want to see picture of billion dollar bills check out Joseph P. Farrell’s classic book on the subject:

This book also has some pictures of this currency:

The US Treasury claims this currency is fake—but Farrell asks a fascinating question—Why would you counterfeit something that does not exist?
The beauty of counterfeiting billion dollar bills is that most young clerks making change for it would not know that the government doesn’t actually make them.
Almost no one uses actual money anymore.
Even I use electronic transfers to pay my light bill, my garbage pick up, and mortgage (for 7.5 years!)
Most Americans couldn't afford to buy a rice-ball at Raku's...
