14. Same boat... investment up grocery and restaurants crazy expensive

We have Hy-Vee which should be called high prices...but need real competitive groceries.

Although tbh, even if Meijer, kroger, and Walmart had to compete a little, without more than that no competition push.

Add to that for most commodities -- chicken, eggs, beef etc. only 2-3 companies control 90 percent of the market, so no drive to competition there.

Same with seeds and fertilizer.

Monopoly and oligopolies have allowed the Uber rich to ignore any market checks and balances
