Food Prices

The price of rice skyrockets. Burning food in our car engines is such a great idea!

The restaurant business is tanking. I'm sitting here typing this post instead of working because an hour after the restaurant opened, they still hadn't seated a single customer. We haven't had a really good night yet this month. So far, the bakery job looks to be going better, but a lot of their business is baking bread for restaurants. Both places are complaining about huge increases in the price of everything except meat. Those will catch up in a month or so; slaughter houses are currently flooded with animals that ranchers can no longer afford to feed, so meat prices are temporarily being held stable or even slightly depressed. But not for long.
