I went to the lumber yard and offered $8 for a 4×8 sheet of 3/4 plywood, they laughed at me. The same thing happened at the home improvement store, too. Well, a sheet of plywood is not even worth 8 dollars to me, but nobody wants to sell lumber anymore.
On my way back I stopped at the gas station and offered $2 for a gallon of fuel. They told me to move away. Same thing happened at three different gas stations. A gallon of gas is not even worth 2 bucks to me, I was being generous but nobody wants to sell fuel anymore.
It was lunch time so stopped by the burger place and wanted to buy a hamburger for $3 but they didn't let me have one. You won't believe it but literally no burger place sold me a burger for three dollars. Nobody wants to sell burgers anymore.
Am I losing my touch with reality? No, it must be greedy sellers trying to turn in a profit and stay in business.
