FOOD COSTS A LOT OF MONEY NOW, YOU GUYS!

Plus it's entirely possible that Leif Erickson didn't even encounter any North Americans, even if he did make it here, which is now more accepted but still not universally.  And "here" would be Newfoundland, which is still not the United States and is only barely Canada (ask a Canadian).

AH!  But ask a Rhode Islander about that and he or she'll tell a different tale.
Oh yes - a different tale, inDEEED...

yeah the price food is going up slower than I thought
with gas prices skyrocketing
you'd think it would be much worse

I'd say a 30% increase in the price of english muffins is pretty fucking bad, wouldn't you? What do you consider worse?

a 60% increase

if my math is right

it isnt

oh is that sum reganomics?

[erika]

just plain old math.

[Trembling Eagle]

just plain old math.

my figures still say 60 is more than 30

[jbissell]

just plain old math.

my figures still say 60 is more than 30

I think everyone thought you meant that the price had gone up 60%, not that 60% is greater than 30%.

PROBLEM SOLVED.

weird when I was asked what I'd consider worse

I still believe a 60% increase would be worse by the way

I don't have the hard science to back me up on this
just a feeling

You're either trolling or getting trolled.  Haven't concluded one way or the other myself, as of yet.
