      Agreed. They don’t want the treats to stop flowing; it’s an addiction at this point. So many people around me aren’t even willing to boycott, which I view as the barest minimum involvement at this point. Anything that threatens their comforts is summarily dismissed out of hand. For a lot of people, that level of consumption is not going to be sustainable as prices rise without a simultaneous increase in wages. We’ll see what happens if gas prices hit $10 per gallon; I’m expecting the price to start skyrocketing as the supply chain catches up to the shortage.
