  • Danone, owner of Evian and Activia, says it will also increase prices

  • In the US, the price of consumer goods has risen 5.4 percent in 12 months

  • Post-pandemic recovery has led to increased demand, while a labor shortage has left a record number of shipping containers idling off the coast of California

#7  I have a safety razor with about 160 razors left. Turkish Derby I think. I tried a sampler and while the German blades were slightly better, they were 5x the price. And the Japanese blade was amazing, but blink and your eye lashes fall off the thing was just to sharp for actual humans to shave with.

And use shaving cream not from an aerosol can, it lasts for months when you use a brush to whip it up. Course I also only shave about every 3-4 days. Beards and CPAP's don't work well.

Go Old School Straight Razor.

Then brag you have lower impact of the environment and have reduced your carbon foot print ☺

But the Wife will need to be extra careful, or stick the BIC's ☺

#3  Sometimes I think that's why they create the disasters in the first place - to give them more control.

#2  Next Central Government Planning with wage and price controls. Cause more government is needed to 'process' the disaster government created.
