    Yeah that’s what’s so shocking about it, these bags would be $5 only a few years ago. And I remember how painfully impoverished large swaths of the country were then.

    I cannot imagine how the average American in the Midwest is surviving at the moment.

      Wife and I both work, everything is carefully calculated to have us constantly worry about bills and unexpected expenses. If one of us misses 1 day of work there is 1 bill that won’t be paid, which means multiple phone calls from bill collectors. A lot of them are super fast about sending to collections. I no longer fret about my credit score.
