this whole episode is showing me how sheltered i am from the price hikes and i only realized it last night during another moment of weakness getting fast food; the price had gone up on my shame-burger.

i'm like a coastal french peasant in the last 18th century whose diet consisted mainly of shellfish so i didn't notice the price of bread increasing and i suspect that i'll learn about the revolution after the fact like they did. lol
