    As a bit of perspective, this morning I took fifty cents to the grocery
    store, hoping to buy some instant ramen (in the cup presumably). The
    prices made that impossible. The lowest priced ramen was 55 cents. Then
    there would be tax. Instant rice was 49 cents, but still tax. I looked
    around a bit and almost gave up but then thought, what about an apple? I managed to get two bananas for 40 cents plus tax. Bananas are the
    cheapest item in the grocery store, and it's a big store.

    Most likely, Trump doesn't like that bananas don't cost much, and I'm
    guessing he's not lying at all when he says he is happy with high gas
    prices.

    It's sort of funny. Not really much of a coincidence coming across the cheapest item. I just came off a weird argument where two people thought
    one was stalking the other one because of the low prices at a particular
    fast food joint.

    Clearly I missed some posts.
