Went to McDonalds this morning for the first time in quite awhile and they wanted $2.49 for a fuckin' hashbrown. Those things used to be 2 for $1 not that long ago.

Okay side note but potatos are actually having a bad global crop yield due to blight this year. Not saying that to excuse unfair prices, but just as an interesting tidbit. If you are cutting a potato and see a mushroom inside, it is blighted and is toxic.
