"Every American should think about how much this issue is costing them every time they buy a cup of coffee and consider how irrational it is."

I agree. Americans need to feel the pain of their vote to elect this ............
whatever he is. The next test is to see the consumer reaction to the higher prices,
while Trump concurrently proclaims that inflation is 0%, and it's all Biden's fault
anyways. And if we collectively fail that test, then we'll check again around
Christmas shopping season. If there is one thing that Americans are addicted to, it's
Christmas shopping. So we'll see how that hits their wallets and purses, while Trump trots
out the same old tired excuses about how Trump is the victim here.

Anecdote: did a late run to grocery store last night, a good sized store and company, so not
a Mom and Pop. Shelves had noticeable bare spots. Not sure if that is due to staff issues,
or inventory issues. And prices are up.
