This can't be good.

Stocks dipped as traders considered details of President-elect Joe Biden’s newly unveiled stimulus proposal and weighed the likelihood of the package getting advanced quickly through Congress. COVID-19 concerns also flared anew as stay-in-place restrictions tightened across parts of Europe, and new data showed U.S. retail sales unexpectedly fell for a third straight month in December.
Biden’s proposal, designated the American Rescue Plan, seeks to offer stimulus payments of $1,400 to most Americans, increase enhanced federal unemployment benefits by $100 to $400 per week and extend these through the end of September, and provide $350 billion in aid to state and local governments, which had been excluded from Congress’s latest package. It also seeks to raise the minimum wage to $15 per hour and provide additional funds to schools and to ramp up COVID-19 testing and vaccination, among other provisions.
I hope it doesn't come down to us having to fill our wheelbarrows with cash just so we can buy a loaf of bread.

If you thought it was bad before when you had to pay $10 for a Happy Meal, wait until the minimum wage is raised again and it costs $16.

I can't help but wonder if part of soy sauce's popularity relates to its ability to give food a "meaty" flavor at a cheap price. I prefer Kikkoman Less Sodium Soy Sauce. They pay me $1 every time I say that. (that was a joke; it is pretty good stuff, though)
