We’ve reached the point in Goodfellas where the once proud proprietor Sonny Bunz’ bar is burned down by the Mob to collect insurance payouts, and we are all Sonny.

And why not? Nobody's gonna pay for it anyway. And as soon as the deliveries are made in the front door, you move the stuff out the back and sell it at a discount. You take a two hundred dollar case of booze and you sell it for a hundred. It doesn't matter. It's all profit. And then finally, when there's nothing left, when you can't borrow another buck from the bank or buy another case of booze, you bust the joint out. You light a match.

I mean, every year is going to be a new record.  Prices don't go back down.

Except for milk at my heb...$1.62/gallon last week.

My grandmother retired sort of early from Sears in 1980. Got a lump sum payout and put it in a 10 year CD at 16%. 

My dad put his mom's small savings into a CD paying somewhere around that amount.  She did alright.
