      I remember a sack of potatoes costing 1.50. I remember rent costing 450. I remember chicken being less than 1 dollar per lb. I can even remember when healthcare and higher education was a reasonable price. But hey! At least the rich are getting richer

        The horror that is necessary to make chicken that cheap should have triggered political change long ago.

      It really pisses me off how expensive Taco Bell has become when they have always served low quality cheap food.

        I was able to get gas for near $1 after the 2008 financial collapse at a Rutter’s somewhere in eastern PA. It was amazing.
