Uhoh, I better let the OL know there is a rice shortage coming LOL. She'll panic hehehehe. We do buy rice in the 20+ lb bags here, it's something of a staple at this house. But mostly it's the sticky rice, even I've become a convert LOL.

WTF?!?!? *SIGH* I swear according to the title I thought this was a thread talking about Sam's and Costco joining forces to sell gas cheaper to keep motorists like me and you from buying a 4 banger.. What the..... RICE?!?!? White rice? Long and short grain? I don't need that in my diet anyway.

Ever since the first gas shortages in the 70's, companies have learned that all they have to do is create a shortage, and they can raise the price to whatever they want. Then they increase the supply, and the price stays the same, or takes a small dip, but not for long.

It's the new American business model.
