Busch’s Fault!
Well, that puts a dent in my plans. I’ll bring you up to speed later.
In about 6 years or so watch the price of bourbon whiskey go up as supplies currently aging are used up and newly distilled product starts being used.
Let’s just have a little re-cap here, shall we?
We’ve now got to roll our own gigs...because GOVERNMENT stuck there nose in where it didn’t belong; private business!
We’ve got to hide our cans of Crisco lest we consume a trans-fat...because GOVERNMENT stuck there nose in where it didn’t belong; private business!
We’ll have to grow our own barley & corn in the future to make Bathtub Barley Pop...because GOVERNMENT stuck there nose in where it didn’t belong; The Free Market!
We have to grow our own food because the Chi-Coms are trying to poison us. (And brush your teeth with baking soda and peppermint extract to avoid killer toothpaste, too)...because GOVERNMENT stuck there nose in where it didn’t belong; The Free Market!
The Government, via the Enviro-Wackos IS winning, Folks. Pretty soon we WILL be back to living in caves, but we’ll have to be naked because we can’t possibly KILL any living thing to make something to cover ourselves with. *Rolleyes*
But, that’ll just be we minions. The Elites will still have ALL of the perks afforded them at birth. ;)
“Wildwood Weed” by Jim Stafford
...All good things gotta come to an end,
And it’s the same with the wildwood weed.
One day this feller from Washington came by,
And he spied and turned white as a sheet.
Then they dug and they burned,
And they burned and they dug,
And they killed all our cute little weeds.
Then they drove away,
We just smiled and waved...
...Sittin’ there on that sack of seeds! :)
DYB! DYC! DYBG!
This is a complete outrage!
As Thomas Paine once said, “these are the times that try men’s souls” !!!
So, ethanol is displacing barley in farmers fields, resulting in a shortage, causing beer prices to skyrocket by 3% in one year. Except that:
[... The brewery also blamed last year’s hot, dry weather for the shortage of barley.]
Which is the correct explanation for the shortage of barley? We don’t know because we’re only offered two opinions, unsupported by facts or evidence. But we’re supposed to conclude, after reading this article, that the production of ethanol for fuel is making the price of beer go up. In addition:
[Ethanol has also recently been blamed for higher, milk, ice cream and pizza prices.]
We have a new condition in America: Ethanol Derangement Syndrome.
IT’S ALL ETHANOL’S FAULT!
Another fact to consider is that it takes a lot of fuel to transport beer ingredients from the farms to the breweries and cases of beer from the distributors to the stores. Is it possible that the large increase in the cost of diesel fuel over the last year may have been a factor in the 3% increase in the cost of beer?
