7. That shakes out to about $80 a week. I was at the grocery store yesterday. Oranges are still $1.19, fresh

spinach is still $6.99, and I said hello to a nice-looking pot roast at just under $30, then continued on my way. If you want a big bag of Dunkin Donuts coffee, it's $14.99 and a lousy can of tomato sauce is $2.00. Everything is too expensive and wages for the peons have been too low since forever. With AI, it's all going to get worse, not better. Jobs will be lost, and electric bills will skyrocket because AI is buying it all up. As my husband says about 10 times a day, "Glad we're not young."
