Or so they seem to keep saying. I opened my email this morning and it read like one of those tabloids I used to scan at the grocery store about who did what when and with whom and why.
This governer did that, and Oh, my! That senator did that. She said that and he's in trouble about that. All while the poor people are struggling with COVID or paying back tuitions, or living rhough ice or storms or whatever.
Not to diminish any of those things, but do you know what they're not talking about? They're not talking about prices going up and up and supplies still not stable. They're not talking about the weather affecting the crops or meat industries and they're not talking about how you and I are going to deal with those things.
You have to dig around a little, then you could see someone talking about a 25% loss in wheat last year. You might read something about continuing drought conditions causing an effective drop in main crops across the west and midwest. You just might find something about how the last two to three years crop failures are catching up or a vague reference to an expected locust outbreak on the east coast.
It's possible that someone out there is making some connections from crop failure to high prices and compounding it with COVID restrictions and mixing that with some politics.
So, maybe the sky is looking a little gloomy, but if it really is falling, they're looking at the wrong pieces.
You know what to do. Take advantage of sales, watch for those things that might be in short supply (higher prices) in the future, and watch your money carefully. It's your money, remember?
