It has already affected us. Milk prices? Rice? And so on.
well, at least there is some positive news
Bump for later reading.
Unemployment numbers probably don’t mean much anymore.
I don’t think the Gov counts illegal immigrant workers in these figures. And what we have right now is a crackdown on illegals, lowering their presence in the workplace. These jobs are being taken by Americans, thus lowering the Gov figures.
All pulled out of my hat but:
30+ million illegals, most working
300+ million citizens, about half working
So the illegals may have been as much as 15-20% of the workforce.
All this muddies up the unemployment numbers so much they are worthless.
Interesting comment: OPEC oil producers are rolling in cash, and they ought to be the ones to ante up cash to feed the poor this time. Their gouging is part of the reason we have moved food off of the shelves and into fuel tanks.
IMO, OPEC countries have no interest in stablilizing the World, they have as the Global Left has, shown their true colors and both are looking for the big takedown of the Great & Lesser Satan...but no one has the guts to do anything except the failed policy of giveaways...
I'm stocking up on rope.
No telling what the price will be by the time we get around to lynching Congress.

“Where are the contractor pickup trucks, the lumber trucks, the cement trucks, the painters, the roofers?”
They are in Houston, screwing up traffic.
According to Mise...”the real cause of continually rising food prices is the printing of money by world governments. And the real cause of actual food shortages is the prevention of profitable global trade in food by the ill-advised policies of the governments of the very people who are starving. To the extent that any other reasons proposed contribute to a reduced supply more than temporarily, it is likely because governments prevent the market from working. To ignore these primary drivers of current world food shortages is either willfully to dismiss economic logic, or to be unaware of it.”
I wonder which ignorance applies?
I have to thank Glenn Beck for causing a crisis on rice, my favorite brand of rice is out of stock at Costco.
