At the risk of stating the obvious, I have no doubt that Harro would be happy to engage with you on this if you were to contact him via email. (He is not a social media guy.)

You need to switch to Wegmans and register for their “insider” program. You get free shit. My trade deficit with them is now down to $600 per month.

If I disappear after my Econ 101 lecture on international economics in a couple of weeks, at least y’all will know what happened to me. (Upside: I avoid the three weeks of macro lectures.)
