Economy

One of the hidden effects of inflation is toilet paper is getting smaller.
""A standard roll is much smaller than it used to be, so now they're selling double rolls. So, without being scientific, I think a double roll is pretty well equivalent to what a standard roll was perhaps a decade ago," a research analyst tells NPR."
Exactly. That's not economic growth. It's economic decline. Inflation forces people to make do with less.

Ohio's economy still stinks.
"The report found that 27.5 percent of jobs in Ohio are in low-wage occupations, and 20 percent of households have limited access to bank accounts — ranking the state 35th among all states for the overall financial security of its residents."
High taxes are the problem.
