OT: Completely OT: Inflation

[Bob Rasmussen]

First, I want to tell you all that I appreciate this being a respectful
discussion - I think "civility" is the currently favored word.

Just one more point that hasn't been brought up. Much of our global
economy is based on being able to ship goods cheaply from far away. So you
get your stawberries from New Zealand and your tennies from Viet Nam. But
as oil prices go up, there is an added cost in that. So it tips the
balance back in the direction of consuming local goods. Oregon
strawberries are better anyway...
