  1. Yeah …. A drought…..ryyyygghht….
    Record rains, record grain growth.
    Oh, but HIGH FUEL COSTS, thanks to Joe-Jo, the CCP Klown!!
    Motorized farm equipment uses fuels. Tractor-trailers usel fuel, to take the grains, to the plant, to be processed for proper feed.
    Starting to see the REAL costs, yet?
    Ultimate plan, is government run farms! Because, they'll force companies to give them cut-rate costs, passing the difference to the independent farms.
    And, as those farms are economically and federally regulated, to fail, they'll turn to the public and say
    "See, capitalist systems dont work! Trust us, your government"
    Oh, and if YOU don't blindly accept this as the way things are, your government issued food allotment card, will suddenly stop working.

  2. Or a full out war with the country 😊

  3. Because ww3 is coming

  4. Fox news finally catching up to what we all already knew a year ago. Companies have hiked prices and are making record profits… is there real inflation? of course.. but much of it is just companies taking advantage of the situation. yay capitalism.. profits at all costs.

  5. JOE BIDEN WANTS HIS GREEDY MONEY!

  6. Typical capitalist response, always blaming labor, suppy chain issues or maybe some other mysterious force of nature. The bottom line is capitalist set prices . This is nothing but price gouging for greater profits. It doesn't have to be this way. It should be a crime to price gouge on something as vital like food. This will never change as long as we allow a tiny number of parasitic capitalist to control our economy. In the short term we need mandatory price controls.

  7. INVESTING IN CRYPTO NOW SHOULD BE IN EVERY WISE INDIVIDUAĽ'S LIST, IN SOME MONTHS TIME YOU WILL BE ECSTATIC WITH THE DECISION YOU MADE TODAY.

  8. Forget about now, they've been raising prices since 2020. We need to look back. Supply chain problem? Stores conveniently stocked the past holiday shopping seasons. It's not Putin's fault.

  9. This is a great video, I learn a lot watching your videos and it has been helpful to me. Building a steady income is quite difficult for newbies.. Thanks to Mrs. Annmarie Surber for improving my portfolio. keep up with the good videos.

  10. Most rich people stay rich by spending like the poor and investing without stopping then most poor people stay poor by spending like the rich yet not investing like the rich but impressing them

  11. He said "I feel so sorry for our customers.. and rent is high and gasoline" .. "they are our friends:.. but don't mind if we pass the cost on to you… haha

  12. prices are still high because we keep having INFLATION and not DEFLATION… bozo..

  13. Faux coping hard with inflation coming down, conservatives hates the country and wants to see it fail, so no surprise they see this as a bad thing.

  14. Food costs are a trailing indicator, not a leading indicator. So for instance, people sign contracts for food based on the event at the time. So if inflation cools it doesn't mean that that month food prices actually go down. The second thing is like here in California all your other costs are going up so even if the food cost itself doesn't go up that doesn't matter

  15. Because inflation isn't cooling.

  16. Thanks a lot brandon aka biden, you did this, you made people suffer.

  17. Welcome to the inflation nation. Without being energy Independent And cheap energy food prices are going to go up. The cost of farming and the EPA regulations has put a financial burden upon the farmers. They have to pass this cost on to the consumers. Today we have a food supply shortage because of the government. The democrats won't total control. If you can control the food you Can control the people If you can control the money and energy you can control the country.

  18. Help me money 💰 2 50 billions us dollars support money every months support money every years support money Abdullahi Hassan Mohamed Ibrahim

  19. So how do people not see that paying for the illegals food is skyrocketed prices….

  20. Inflation is not cooling….they keep printing more and more money which makes if worth less and less

  21. If you raise the price and people pay why would you lower the price? You will only lower when you see a loss not an increase.

  22. Thanks biden groceries are so high may have to move to dog food like some elders in the 70s. This is what you are doing for the seniors. Salute to you.

  23. this is why we must END THE STOCK MARKET

  24. RENT ! TAKES THE HIGHEST PERCENTAGE OF ALL THAT WE HAVE IN ANYTHING,, An when you're done,,they still have the house or Apartment ,, So This is a greed hole ..IMO ! In 1962 , a 3br house in country was $50.00. To $70.00 per. Month ….

  25. Because your government lies to you about inflation.

  26. I went to a local store very small one I wouldn’t buy my half-and-half there. They charge more money then if I went to Kroger’s, I get a half gallon of half-and-half for five bucks. They wanted me to pay five bucks for a quart no thank you better advice

  27. McDonald’s went up because they have to pay their employees a lot more money it’s called using logic down is not gonna go down no fast who’s gonna go down because I have to pay more for people to work there because they’re holding their McDonald’s and Wendy’s and all them as a job life sustaining job, so fast food cost much. Does it cost to go to a restaurant and sit down and eat I just rather go to a restaurant sit down and eat then eat fast food and pay what I’m getting quality food I’m not getting from McDonald’s but I’m getting quality or food from a restaurant so there’s a trade-off people weren’t realizing that

  28. From what I see prices are not falling. I don’t know how anyone is saying that everything is outrageously expensive. Maybe we got spoiled when Trump was in office and her eggs were only at the max $.69 to a dollar and our milk was $1.50 and our meats we’re at normal prices, those didn’t change they change now you can only buy two steaks thinly cut for $29. Don’t try to get in the prime rib you want you won’t be able to afford it and I shop everywhere there’s a sale and you can’t find sales on Meet.

  29. The drought last month they were crying about the rain.the must be democrats.

  30. Eggs are the new Gold. Sriracha is the new Silver.

  31. Money printing continues at a high rate so grocers know that costs will be going up again.

  32. The dollar is still losing purchasing power only at a slower rate, so prices are still going up just not as fast as before. To stop inflation, we must raise the banking capital reserves rate from 0% to a reasonable amount which will shrink the money supply and stop inflation. The answer is really simple, and I hope that people will stop with the raising of interest rate nonsense which is only intended to cause recession.

  33. diesel prices are down. prices need to fall.

  34. Greed don't get you nowhere

  35. ofcourse he does not talk about his all time high profits.

  36. They need to squeeze so much more from us so they can give all the free stuff for the people they are bringing from the boarder because this administration seems to think they They deserve unemployment When they get here free hosing and schools have 5 star hotels paid for free food everything And us american people taxpayers have to pay for everything while we are struggling with our families and everything the more people keep coming here from the boarder prices will go up more Thats my opinion

  37. All price hikes are from the Biden’s poor policies

  38. Elementary Economic Genius say, 'supply and demand'. People need food. People do not need CCP made TV

  39. Greed is better than your phony altruism, losers.

  40. Don't worry Biden and baby Biden, and brother Jim are eating very well.

  41. Thanks for the update and keep doing what you do. My journey in the current market has taught me a lot of lessons, thinking about investing diversification certainly is the key, that's why I engaged in sectors based on projected growth. There are no shortcuts to getting rich but there are smart ways to go about it. professional Gregory Thomas Patchak has been my advisor and trader for a while now he has been doing a great job reviewing all charts and trade which has enhanced the growth of my portfolio to a six figures lately.

  42. they jack the raises, the food goes up, they jack the raises, the food goes up. the gov't makes war on energy, the prices go up. the gov't buys into climate hysteria, he prices go up. restore sanity. rid us of biden, kerry, and the rest of the flunkie, rich, demented, nitwitsl
