No one wants to talk about the higher costs of transportation and government regulation, both of which have contributed to sky rocketing prices from the gas pumps to the grocery stores. Along with federal regulations, there are states like California, with all of their state regulations, that make it so expensive that many truckers don’t bother to go there. There are a host of reasons why food prices are rising.

Yea I guess I have to teach economics again. It’s not cause companies are just raising prices for the hell of it that would actually be pretty rare and very few companies have that ability with regulations. The main reason prices go up is because of the inflation and the supply chains that got completely shutdown in certain liberal areas is how it started but the real reason your prices are continuing to go up is cause the liberal push for higher minimum wage and higher taxes and the fact the border is wide open and your taxes are going up more to support those people to get free food,shelter,healthcare,free spending money etc…but all these things go up and companies have to adjust or they go out of business. Quick lesson. I can go more into though when I have more time.
