Notes From All Over -- The Oreo Edition -- November 3, 2021

Boom! Link here. 

Oreos: in Target, currently sell for $3.79, for the "typical" Oreo package with which I am familiar. I quit buying Oreo years ago when prices jumped from $1.99 to $2.50. Wow, $2.50 -- that must have been a long time ago. Let's see, they say inflation in running at 7%? $3.79 - $2.50 = $1.29 / $2.50 = a 52% increase over the years. Looks like somebody is "padding" their bank account.

• price of Oreos, historical;

China: oh-oh. Covid-19, not looking good. Or go to direct to Bloomberg. Sounds like Dr Fauci was China's Trojan horse. LOL. Who wudda thought?

Inflation: all this talk about inflation -- USPS first class stamps up to 50 cents or more. I've forgotten what they cost. Does anyone buy any first-class stamps any more?
