   @Griffith @DW2 yeah but the producers and stores can set the prices of goods right?

     @Turdicus @Griffith @DW2 The price I charge is the lowest I can that pays my landlord and feeds my kids more than canned soup while covering the cost of material inputs.

     With world market chasing the same materials and dollar going down, I will have to spend more to get the materials to make what you buy from me.

     Same with the food I give my kids. If US dollar craters in value it’s more profit for food makers to export. Unless we bid up food price domestically they export away the food.
