Right! And then there will be 3 and only 3. It will crush all others and we will be screwed.
We are talking about FOOD! Not to mention all the other staples we need like 'safe water' and TP and laundry soap and toothpaste etc that we buy when we're there buying FOOD.

They are doing it now, just not in the daylight. Take a look at a bar of soap. It has this 'interesting' shape - a concave rectangle, not a full rectangle like it used to be. How much soap was taken out of that bar, to be sold at the same or similar price? Where'd the extra soap go? Did the price of that bar go down? Take a look at your toilet paper (should I say 'bathroom tissue'?). How much distance is there, end to end on the holder, compared to just a few years ago. I figure 3/4" to 1." Where'd the paper go? How much less did a package of tissue cost? One more - my favorite. Miracle Whip, a staple of Kraft. The product used to be in a 1 quart or 32 oz. jar. What is it now? 28 oz? Where'd the other four ounces go? What no one here is talking too much about is the lack of visible, ethical companies. BTW: Do MBA students still study business ethics? If so, what do they do with the knowledge gained? Then, let me push the concept of business ethics to personal conscience. Where did it go? It got trampled under the feet of all the good Congressional representatives who bought what the lobbyists were selling. I listen and watch James Comer and I think, "How in hell did this dim bulb get into Congress? I wonder what his net worth will be once he leaves the hallowed halls. And, where's Rex Tillerson these days? I'm starting to rant. It's Sunday. No rants on Sunday! Peace, all.

President Biden spoke about that shrinking but there must have been bigger news that day. (Don the con called someone a bad name?)
