I see trouble on the horizon

Since starting this blog less than a week ago, I've been seeing price hikes everywhere. Like, OMG, forget gas! Grocery prices are rising! Produce prices have gone up! But this is the last straw. Due to the cost of barley, we'll soon be paying more to lose our fine motor skills by way of alcohol.

Beer prices are going up. The article speaks of beer in Germany, but I imagine this will soon effect the US, even if you only drink domestic (yech!). Not just because of the cost of barley (or whatev.), but the cost of bringing it to you.

Regardless of the rising costs in Germany, I still want to live where they "expect it to be as inexpensive as other basic staples like eggs, bread and milk."
