(9,823 posts)This countrys government values things more highly not for their benefit to people and planet, but for their return on investment for big political donors.
Cheap food now theres another meaningful comparison.

(9,076 posts)It's been holding at the same price for nearly a month now it seems. Just fueled up this morning at Costco, and I think it's the same price it's been since second week of July.
But California is wacky. Part of it is our suppliers, part of it our state's formulation requirements, higher taxes than most places, etc.
So I think we always lag behind everyone else.
It does still feel weirdly disconnected from the national trend, though. Even by our weird standards.
