Pillar of Society

I am not sure if this is getting out, but I need to try and broadcast during this troubling and frightful time. As you may or may not know, one of the cornerstones of our society, a pillar that supports not only our world but how we understand it has crumbled. This massive event has shaken not only our vast infrastructure, but it has also shaken the perception of reality that we all depend upon for the basic necessities of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Of course I am talking about how Little Debbie snacks are now 35 cents instead of 25 cents.
Long ago as a youth I remember with fondness skipping happily to the corner store, quarter in hand and smiling in anticipation of the chocolaty goodness (or banana goodness, fudge goodness, oatmeal goodness...I never really decided until I got there) that awaited me upon my arrival. From now on, those happy boys (or 36 year old balding men) skipping to the store will be turned away at the door with a broom the the butt and a "It's another dime Rockefeller!".
In the tradition of the most respected interviewer of our time I will conclude with a "Final thought". Little Debbie cannot be faulted for suddenly raising their price 40%. They can however be faulted for ripping off little kids by obviously keeping their prices so inflated that it has taken decades for inflation to catch up with them.
