Jimbo,

One of the things it comes down to is that banning a few random commodities is far easier for lazy elected politicians than building anything of substance. Grandstanding is always attractive.

I am able to get a half lobe at a good price on occasion as my wine/deli guy has a customer who orders a half lobe a couple times a year. I split the cost and end with half at wholesale.

IMO, the government's job in this is to provide me with the facts I need to make intelligent decisions. If I choose to make non intelligent decisions, then that is my right and I am willing to accept the consequences.


I agree!
