   That's good for the workers, except that more people will skip fast   
   food as the prices go up.  Which is on top of the price increases due   
   to shortages and delivery delays.  Of course, cutting executive bonuses   
   could reduce the price increases, but few executives pursue that   
   option.

   Courage is knowing it might hurt, and doing it anyway.   
   Stupidity is the same.   
   And that's why life is hard.
