We ought to go back to using trains!

Garden soil prices escalate.

I have just returned from shopping for bagged garden soil for my
raised garden and found since last season, that not only have they
increased the price by 60 percent but they have reduced the size of
the bags by twenty five percent. The soil is made of ground-up
materials from old buildings that are torn down and allowed to
compost, lead based paints and all. The processors call the product
"black gold." I wonder if the inflation gurus take into consideration
the reduction of the sizes of goods on top of the increased price when
establishing the inflation rate?

I am retired Teamster and know that rising gas/fuel prices control the
prices of everything we buy. Most are truck delivered.
