Interesting conversation at Publix today [1]

Publix is the largest chain of supermarkets in Florida. Also, one of the most expensive.They do have BOGOs — buy one get one free items weekly and that was why I was there.
Just for grins I looked at the steaks in the meat counter. A small strip steak was around $30.00.
An elderly gentleman wearing a veteran’s baseball cap came up to me and said “If you think it’s a lot now wait a couple of weeks. It will be double”.
Of course, we began a conversation about the current political situation. Then I looked over and saw his wife with a terrified expression on her face. It was awful. She kept looking around and telling her husband to “lower his “voice, you never know who might be around”.
All I could think of was the Nazis. If a neighbor heard someone saying disparaging things about Hitler, or not having a picture of Hitler in their house, they could be arrested.
I will never forget the terrified look on that lady’s face.
