It’s always only a matter of time before a group of “victims” turn on each other. Always.

As law enforcement becomes more impotent in these communities and hence giving the green light to the thugs to do as they wish, the law abiding citizens will have two choices; just keep getting the ■■■■ beat out of them or fight back. If they choose to fight back, you will then see mini civil wars breaking out on a routine basis.

Mini civil wars inside the cities? Awww, maaaaaaaan!

We always use a card for groceries - points and rebates = getting paid to spend money!

My reaction too.

But putting my groceries (in fact, every penny of spending I can put onto a card to get the points) isn’t what’s contributing to the increase in overall credit card debt – IF I make sure I pay off the balance each month. I’ll bet you do too.

Those of us who do that are not the ones S’Foot was talking about though. I’m sure you knew that.

Yes on both counts.

Some folks are being forced to charge their groceries onto a credit card.

Elections have consequences.

Global Food Commodity prices have eased from record highs. But, we still have some ways to go.
