I've been charged for "sanitary water" by a hospital.

All the stuff that’s made overseas now that cost more then when it was made here who’s pocketing that profit?

I have a question for Alaskans. Why are things almost twice as expensive up there than in the lower 48? Interested in the responses. LLL

Beav, the "preppers" already had that stuff. It's the johnny come latelys that are buying it up.

The preppers i know didnt stop buying they just stepped up their accumulation efforts . People horde because of anxiety for what might happen in the future . When they come face to face with a stimulus that causes anxiety they dont stop hording . It becomes a uncontrollable compulsion to accumulate as the opportunity arises until they cant physically do it anymore .
Add to that all the new people that have no reserves trying to lay in a reserve things get interesting .

are hotel rooms in a Super Bowl host city the same price throughout the rest of the year?

Of course.........just like motel rooms around Sturgis during the motorcycle rally.

Its the shipping that makes prices expensive in Alaska. Try ship a box through the post office to Alaska and you will quickly see. All our mail here flys in, that includes groceries and everything else. Our gas was bought last fall and is still $6.00 a gln. And wont go down unless its cheap when they order more later this summer. Still wont go under $5.00 I would bet.

The greedy that profiteer off the misery of the people should be dragged out into the street and beaten.And video'd like Khaddafi.

Boco I sure wish you would quit beating around the bush and tell us how you really feel
