It's obvious why this was delayed. We even saw big business "pleading" to biden to delay it a couple of weeks ago...why you ask? It's all about taking more of our hard earned money at a much higher inflated price now.
I'm not here to tell anyone what to do this holiday, that's not my place. But please, if you are buying gifts this year, make sure it's purchased through your local mom and pop stores and that the product is American made. Big business makes a fortune every year during the shopping sprees that happens during the holiday season. This would be the ultimate Let's Go Brandon slap in the face to them.
The high end/yuppie groceries are Whole Foods and AJ's Fine Foods, the latter being part of what's left of two chains of locally owned groceries. AJ Bayless was bought out by Basha's many years ago. Basha's kept the AJ name for a few stores. Regular Basha's started going downhill when they adopted loyalty cards. They survived by turning most of the stores into Food City, geared to low income and Hispanic buyers, no loyalty cards and none at AJ's either. The actual mom and pop stores are small Hispanic ones.
