Price gougers! Conspiracy! Crisis!
In January they were charging just $2.10. By the end of October they were gouging us for $3.47. That is a massive increase. Just since mid-September they ran the price up 55 percent.
This is a huge conspiracy, that much is obvious.
Where are our politicians when we need them? We should be whacking these outfits with excess profits tax. Call it an obscene profits tax.
And we should be putting a lid on these prices. Price controls - that’s what we need!
And if we can shift our focus just a bit we will see a black cloud on the horizon. Shortages up ahead. Yes. Inventories are being gobbled up and we are headed for shortages.
Where is Al Gore when we need him?
Yes... I did use the term “gobbled up.” Well, it’s accurate. We are gobbling up the corn.
The corn.
Oh! You thought I was writing about gasoline?
I was writing about corn. Corn sold for $2.10 a bushel in January. By the end of October it was nudging $3.50 a bushel. Hang onto your Fritos, friend. While you can buy ‘em cheap.
And why has the price of corn shot up? As I said, it is a conspiracy. The big corn farmers and companies have set out to gouge us.
