May I bitch for a moment about the declining dollar?

[Sophree]

I work in a hemp store/smoke shop. Among other things, we carry imported clove cigarettes. Received an order today, the damn things went up %30 since January!! Even if I raise our price by a dollar, we're still not going to make enough to cover overhead, shipping, etc. AND they're going to be so outrageously expensive, customers are going to balk at the price (understandably so.) Called the company and they confirmed- yes, the price increase is due to the declining dollar.

Thank you to the most inept maladministration in our nation's history. You fuckers really DON'T know what you are doing, do you? Man, I miss the Clinton years.

:grr:

1. The dollar went up yesterday

And the international stock mutual fund I sold a day earlier went down.

Check the business section of your fishwrap.

Althought I'm still a little skeptical about the B*shies and the economy.
