“With oil at over $90.00 a barrel,,,
There is no such thing as “Just a Gum-Bawl”...;0)”
And it’s firmly on it’s way toward $100 as well. The GumBall story really is good learning thing. You see when the kid gets home, they find out that daddy lost his job today at the local gumball factory. The father’s company bought too many of their ingredients for the gumballs from china, and well...that dollar value thingy caused them to tighten the belt quite a bit and try cut some labor costs (jobs) to make up the difference.
Then his daddy worked for a stupid company. A smart company would say: “Hey! Sugar and starch are a lot cheaper in America now! Lets start buying from American producers and we can make gumballs cheaper. And use ‘Merkins to boot to make ‘em since they know our production techniques!”
