SHORT TAKES ON THE DRIFTING WRECKAGE – OVERNIGHT: 

ET TU, PIZZA? – FROM THE NEW YORK POST:   You’re gonna need more dough for that slice.
The price of pizza is soaring in the Big Apple thanks to a dyspeptic recipe of inflationary food costs, a global supply-chain crisis and national labor shortage.  The sticker shock is hitting pizza-passionate Gothamites right in the gut.  “It’s a little bit scary at times,” said Slone Elias, a customer at 2 Bros. Pizza on Eighth Avenue in Chelsea. “Eventually it’s going to reflect in rising food prices at every restaurant.”  Elias savored slices on the sidewalk this week with friends amid a true sign of the times — the shop advertises $1.50 pizza slices on a sidewalk menu board, right beneath its iconic bright red marquee boasting “$1 Pizza.”  “Inflation is affecting every single ingredient, every single item we use. Flour, cheese, tomatoes, gloves, paper goods, paper plates, napkins. Everything. Labor is definitely up, as well,” Oren Halali, the 2 Bros. Pizza co-founder, told The Post.  This is a real crisis.  Where is Kamala Harris?  Where is AOC?  Where is Terry McAuliffe?  We are abandoned.
