I congratulate you, but that has nothing to do with the 95% of Americans who don’t grow their own food.

I for one buy local, organic, and small farm produce and meat whenever I can, but the greatest boon to nutrition both here and overseas is industrial farming. if everyone was compelled to buy artisanally, prices would be double and triple where they are.

Most Americans will be paying more at the supermarket. Not 20% more, but maybe 5%+. And given that even 6% inflation can be burdensome, short term we’ll see price increases above even Biden levels.

I just know the American people are resourceful and remember when we didn’t import food. It really wasn’t that long ago either.


50 years ago. How many alive today remember that? It was an obscure fact even in its time.

Hey globalist explain this: Canada is threatening to put up retaliatory import tariffs. Why would the do that and cause such massive inflation in Canada? I thought tariffs were evil-bad? They should be lowering their tariff rates, right?

Explain how a 25% import tariff can raise prices by over 25%? Just how many goods do I buy from Canada? Probably none.

Cereal? ($1.31 Billion)...way down this list...gas and oil is #1, vehicles are #2:
