we don't eat nearly enough soup in this country

biscuits and soup make a lot of sense and you can make it very cheap

since a hundred years ago they were working on selling everyone the idea that you should buy store bought foods , breads, and other packaged or convenience foods even corn bread mix rather than just corn meal and flour.

simplify and convenience everything until it happened , the majority of the population has no idea how to cook , they can read instructions off a box and re-heat but basic cooking skills are mostly lost.
many people who get take and bake or heat and eat everything.

ask someone in the isle at the store their recipe for pancakes ,I would guess >90% they start by telling you their preferred box mix.

Bastiat's most well known work is a small book called The law

If you haven't read it I urge you to do so. It will make you stand and cheer............and then cry because we have fallen so far.

Did not state if subsidies are good, bad or ugly, that based on the past 75 years subsidies is the choice that has been made, along with credits etc.

Trump had a heck of a lot more on his mind , and like every business man/owner they rely on information from their underlings

Like the fall of the Roman Empire. Same exact principals were involved.

Another interesting observation , people don't know how to do simple cooking, canning or growing and harvesting their own.
The price of canning supplies is to the point, it costs more to can your own food than to buy it.
There's ways around this total control agenda.

Another thing , they're blaming food costs on the producers, yet the price of fuel and everything to operate a farm has tripled , yet this government wants to put a price freeze of a farmers products?
It that doesn't scream socialism and communism , what the heck does?

for the believers there is another shot coming out

Too late, tested positive a couple hours ago. No dump trucking tomorrow so looks like another day of milling lumber.

I did not.

Communist and socialists control prices.

Capitalist economies do not.

When you control prices, YOU ALSO CONTROL WAGES!!

Pretty easy to understand.

This proposal is a swirling toilet bowl that will destroy the economy of this country and our economy will be no better than China, Russia or England.

ok if we are going to talk food , we need to talk commodity price

is what the farmer paid per bushel , hundred weight , or hanging weight balanced with the end user price

just going to use wheat price per bushel
Aug 2024 6.17
Aug 2014 5.61 adjusted for inflation this would be 7.45 in 2024

wheat price has been up and down and this is not that big of a change considering where it's highs and lows have been it is still meaning the farmer is short changed at 6.17

who ever said this is how you get communism , you are correct, you blame the farmers for greed while they are making less per bushel and the price doesn't equal what the consumer is paying , you find a bunch of usefully idiots to champion the plan selling it and when they realize what they helped to do , they are too busy starving in a gulag to tell anyone.

I suggest you find a farm that will sell you pigs and cows at market price , get a couple families to split the cow and do the work.
it only takes a couple hours to get a cow hanging in 1/4s in the garage you just need it to be cool enough to let it hang and cool.

in a pinch a big chest freezer will work to get you cool , I did the last cow in 90 degree heat , and it turned out just fine , she had to be put down that day

Years ago had a cow try to jump over a stall, broke it's neck on the overhead beam.
Butchered it with just knives and a hand meat saw.
My dad was in charge of everything, I was still a teenager.
But we did it.
