    You can’t really stop buying food. There’s a reason that (say) a laptop costs the same now that it did in 1998 but eggs went from $2.50 a dozen to $8 a dozen in a few weeks with no actual change in supply or demand outside of a very brief constraint on shipping.

      Right, and when all we buy is food, many, many other businesses go poof. I’m not saying food isn’t expensive. I’m saying that’s all I buy anymore.
