   Wallet and GrimaceIt is testimony to the current state of affairs re: runaway bourgeois values in a socio-political climate that needs to address its own embrace of middle class life and determine the sustainability of those values. Sorry, I guess it is a little bit early for all that. But, when the "essentials" include 3.65 -- price of a venti (large) latte with organic milk at a Seattle Starbucks.....
   What does that mean????

   Milk PricesRecently I noticed a small sign at the Price Chopper near my house. It said something like, "We apologize for the increasing milk-product prices, which are due to an unprecidented rise in supplier costs. We are working to keep our prices as low as possible." Your statistics about the cost of milk at Freddy's vs. milk at an organic food store made me wonder what caused the huge difference in prices, and what was making the prices of even Freddy's-like stores increase too.
   ...Are the cows demanding more pay or something?
