Mish, movin on up in WSJ On Mish’s Global Economic Trend Analysis, Mike “Mish” Shedlock gives readers his take on one trucker feeling the pinch of high costs and flat freight rates. The post quotes an Associated Press story that shines the spotlight on Robert Griffith, an independent trucker who fears that he won’t be able to buy his daughter a prom dress. “‘I had to learn to live totally different,’ said Griffith, 41, of Lebanon, Tenn. No more $150 family outings to Shogun sushi. No more weekly washes for his Western Star 4900 EX truck. No more health insurance for him and his family. ‘It hurts,’ he said. ‘I’m a man who’s trying to make a living for my family and I’m not succeeding.’” It’s at this point that Mr. Shedlock chimes in with his two cents: “If you were saving instead of spending $150 on family outings to Shogun Sushi, then perhaps you could have afforded to buy your daughter a prom dress. In fact, had you saved all those weekly truck washes and Shogun Sushis, perhaps you would not see a need to cancel health insurance for your family. Talk about skewed priorities.” blogs.wsj.com
