[QUOTE="qdg2, post: 5534889, member: 100309"] Interesting..... I went to Costco yesterday....we go once a month as it's an hour drive. The place was covered up with people on a Friday morning.....busy. Place was packed with items......as much as you could EVER want. Gasoline powered generators to literally tons of any kind of food you could imagine. Paper towels and toilet paper in huge stacks. Lines for gasoline were 10 deep and all full and available. I actually marveled at the bounty and opportunity. Here's what's really interesting: I had one basket cart......I spent $452. Trust me.....I didn't have a whole lot. That said.....I actually agree with most of your other comments......except the third world part is in generally Democrat controlled areas..... BTW, gasoline here has gone up about .40 in the last couple weeks....it actually went up .20 in one day here this week. $2.79-2.99-$3.18. Before Biden....we were knocking on sub $2.00........ Example: I bought a new Ryobi weed wacker(gas powered) the other day. Home Depot actually had 10 of them(they've been out for months). Last time I bought one(about 2 years ago) they were under $100....this one was $215 out the door.
