Im wondering if like, after we beat Covid and think everything is going to be A-OK after like a week with an open economy we go to get a burrito and its $98

Been there done that, I just stopped eating basically.
That's how I feel about $40 dollar bread loaves which are real. They exist, for reasons, but the poor us, get the price of the $6 ones set by the big players and have no say at all about what goes into those $6 breads unless we rebell and elect someone like Trump who scares the living bejusesus out of people. (we still didn't have a say and they are still made with sawdust and cornsyrup). While the big 'earners' (real people with actual legal status and ability and property) are eating $100 bread loaves or just having their chef prep them from importated Arabian whole grains.
I think we failed tho. We may be in for a rough ride, but I've had a prepper dad with stockpiled goodies saying that for the last 25 yrs.
Who knows, maybe the way to get rid of the penny is to turn the dollar into the penny, and we'll all magically love buying bread for $98 (98 pennies) when 'everyones salary is inflated' which is what the republicans are tryin to say will happen when Amazon wins the corporate wars.
I don't like either scenario very much, but I'm ultraconservative and don't participate properly in society. I would rather grow my own bread and defend my land with pvp, but china won the pvp wars. Can't beat their resist checks.
