Food Prices
I’m sure by now everyone who doesn’t live under a rock is well aware of the inflationary prices going on around the world, particularly in the food area. While the UN whines for more cash (from America) and France screams for protectionism to “protect” their food supplies, retailers are having trouble, too.
But get ready, it’s going to get a lot worse in June. Why June? Did you forget what the Democrats in Congress passed? June will see an 85-cent increase in minimum wage. Do you even grasp the effect that will have on the entire food industry, from produce to restaurants? That’s a GIANT increase in the price of getting that food to you — and I’ve not heard a word about it. But you can rest assured, when that increase goes into effect, food prices WILL rise substantially, both prepared food and produce. Did you think the stockboys putting the lettuce on the shelf were making a lot of money? Well, they’re going to make more — which means it’s going to cost you more.
So once again, nearly every part of this recent problem with food is due to the government interfering with freedom. It doesn’t surprise me, but I am surprised by how many don’t understand that government is the PROBLEM and not the solution.

Damn! I had almost forgotten. Thanks.
I think restaurants will attempt to account for the costs with smaller portions — but the grocery stores won’t have that option. I guess they could start putting 8 eggs in a “dozen…”
