Why? Did they find a way to make windmills out of cotton?

I thought cotton prices had started soaring months ago. Thank goodness for polyester.

I wonder how it will affect me. All my clothes seem to be made in Bangladesh, Vietnam or Mexico.

The Lubbock area produces a large percentage of the U. S. cotton crop and it has been bone dry this year.

The WSJ just had a timely article about spinning dog hair into yarn and weaving cloth with it. Maybe we don’t need that cotton, anyway, if we can just accumulate enough dog hair...

With most of the cotton-growing areas of Texas experiencing a severe drought, while the Mississippi River cotton fields have been flooded, the crop this year will yield less than average. So lack of supply and commodities speculators, will most certainly drive the price up to new highs.

Well, this is great!! Just in time for Detroit to bulldoze large swaths of land to plant cotton on and then have the folks democrat fascists have shoved into welfare plantations to out and tend the cotton. A real dream come true for the democrat party, the party that has always been the home of racists and eugenics advocates.

Yeah, there's nothing like those folks working to get their benefit check for a change. They can work in the fields during the day and at night they can sing, dance, and breed. The democrat party will finally have gotten things back to where they had them before the War of Northern Aggression screwed them up. Of course, if Detroit is a bad climate for cotton, there's always Atlanta.

It’s horrible. Costco’s Kirkland brand jeans went from $12.99 to $13.99; and the quality is excellent.
