Liz is right about the quantities being less & the prices being more, but not sure she’s right about the cause. The prices are the effect of the cause. All indications that I see seem to start because of Joe Biden, who doesn’t want to accept blame for much. So, of course the Democrats would want to direct the causes away from him. That’s pretty hard to do when some of it is a direct action of something he has done. Take the price of motor fuels; directly related to store prices because of cost of delivery. Now where I live, motor fuel prices are coming down, but that doesn’t mean they are everywhere. I live in a small area, so these costs aren’t affecting much as few items are manufactured/produced here in the local area, but look at fuel costs in California for instance. I don’t have to tell most people about that or how many products are produced there. Then, too, I feel that many costs may be unnecessarily high because of the effect of a business in one area seeing costs higher in another are & they feel they need to follow suit. As an example when I was working, I felt that my wages were inadequate because of what I had to pay for goods coming from California for instance. We are basically one of the lower wage areas in the U.S., possibly partly because of lack of competition here.

I think we've all noticed the shrinkage.

In my younger working days I was poor.

Then I become prosperous.

How did that happen?

Several decades ago I made one big decision and implemented it.

I left California.
