You mean to tell me that the government out of control spending isn't creating an issue with inflation? Really?What inflationary policies? I mean I see a lot of bitching about higher prices, I haven't seen a single policy proposed as to how Biden as caused those prices to increase. I mean all we usually get is the horseshit about oil drilling on public lands, yet by the end of the year we will be shattering records for domestic production.
There are number of factors at play when it comes to food prices. While the supply chain problems have been almost eliminated, the cost of inputs has increased dramatically for a whole host of reasons. The War in Ukraine has impacted the grain market. Rather you realize it or not, Ukraine was a big supplier of wheat. Hell, the wheat we grow here in the US is a variety that originated in Ukraine. The cost of feed for livestock has nearly doubled.
And while domestic oil production is up, fracking is down. A by-product of fracking is CO2. That is used in the packaging of many food products and now suppliers are having to import that CO2.
Of course, diesel fuel has an impact on food prices. There is a real easy solution, STOP EXPORTING THE SHIT. We export more diesel today than at any time in American history. WTF, that is just beyond stupid but I don't see Republicans jumping onboard a ban on exporting finished fuel products. Proposals have been circulated in the House.
But I hate to see the fury when you people see the price of turkeys this Thanksgiving. Sure, stores will sell them at a loss, but there is a limit. 50 million turkeys were lost to Avian Flu. Hens are going to be scarce, breasts are going to be off the chain expensive, and rare. And of course, you dipshits are going to blame Biden.
