Notebook: Every time I hear a politician bluster about high grocery prices, I think of Aldi, a grocery store the ideologues prefer not to mention. We have a couple of them in Palm Coast. Wonderful places, even though they take some getting used to after the Ritz-like experience at Publix. But not much getting used to when you get the bill at checkout, a ridiculously low bill compared to the often obscene prices at Publix and like-priced groceries. Aldi came to mind yesterday as the latest inflation numbers were announced: 3 percent on an annualized basis brings us almost down to the no-inflation levels of 2008 to just before the invasion of Ukraine and the spike in oil prices. 3.3 percent if you exclude food and energy, but most of what concerns us is food and energy. Biden can’t take the most of credit anymore than he should take most of the blame for the spike: every country in the OECD experienced the same spike. The Euro area got it under control too now (2.4 percent Eurowide), though unemployment there is still at 6.4 percent, Eurowide, and only 4 percent here. Still, there’ll be no end to the noise about inflation at next week’s GOP spectacle in Milwaukee, which should set new records, world and Olympic, in lies per second, with pandering to the flag, to force and to god battling for second.

“In a nutshell, the American people are turning sullen. They’ve been clobbered on all sides by Vietnam, Watergate, the inflation, the depression, they’ve turned off, shot up, and they fuck themselves limp and nothing helps. […] The American people want somebody to articulate their rage for them. […] I want counterculture, I want anti-establishment.”

–From Diana Christensen, in the movie “Network” (1976).
