Heh... yeah, funny, that. It’s almost as if the baker is experiencing, oh, I dunno, perhaps the fourth generation of bakery owners just started college, or perhaps the increased price of natural gas, gasoline/diesel for his cargo truck (or for the cargo truck of his supplier), etc etc... I guess the baker understands economics better than Schumer pretends to, and is getting free publicity and a broadcast alibi. Not a very good alibi (as you’ve noted), but an alibi nonetheless.
Even if that baker was paying 3 times as much for flour
as before the wheat/rye in the loaf of bread would be
18 cents instead of 6 cents worth. So if he is
adding 80 cents....... Does that mean that if my gasoline
went up a dollar that my income should go up 7 dollars.
Same kinda deal. All that happened to corn farmers is
they got a couple bucks more for crops and oil took up
nearly all of it, by oils effect on farm inputs.Ed
