Factories closing, our wallets feeling it?

More manufacturing plants are shutting down lately - from the companies making plastic containers to paper bags. When places like Globe Motors close, we lose 400+ jobs, but there's another hit coming. Fewer factories usually means less competition, which translates to higher prices on everyday stuff. Think about it: the motors in your appliances, the packaging around your groceries, even those Amazon boxes. Are we looking at a supply squeeze that'll make everything cost more? Have you noticed prices creeping up on basic items lately? #Business #prices #shopping
