I was so pleased to see the shoutout to A.K. Stickle Variety!!

I have been loving that store for years. And wondering how it managed to stay in business. I would cheerfully buy out their entire inventory to KEEP them in business, but there's only so much room for New York State dishtowels and Etch-a-Sketches in my home.

As someone who owned a small business during the last recession (2007-2010), I will say that Biden's COVID-related interventions—specifically his small business loans at low interest rates—seemed a lot more small-business-friendly than Obama's too-big-to-fail bailouts. Obama turned out to be such a mediocre POTUS.

But I don't have a clue what can be done about the current inflationary tide.

And I keep dreaming about wheelbarrows full of worthless paper currency and the Weimar Republic.
