Re bread
My pal Merton Wolfman says:
"$ price of wheat up to $3.5 from $3
Shekel down by about 20%
You cannot be expecting bread to be baked at a loss. Only in USSR, and we
know what happened there."


I'm not expecting anything, Mert, just stating a fact. I was talking about political sensitivity. Unlike some other states round this way, hungry people get the vote in Israel. Politicians reckon they've gotta keep 'em happy!
Actually, I totally agree with you.
