To end inflation, the politicians could always claw back the $5 trillion they foolishly flooded into the money supply for no good reason.

Deport all the illegals and there are less demand for food sold in the U.S.

Get rid of ethanol mandates and there's more food, which lowers prices.

Quit paying farmers to keep their farmlands fallow and there's more food, which lowers prices.

Remember: Soylent Green is Green.

With a one month mass media 24/7 saturation of “public service announcements” the masses would be clamoring for it!

It’s not bad enough yet. When folks start agreeing with me on what to do about it, then I will KNOW we have reached end point. Not until then...

A lot of them ‘illegals’ are what is the labor section
of food production especially the early stages, land
prep, planting and harvesting.

True that. Then make welfare recipients work for their pay. Or get rid of welfare and people will do the work so they can eat.

“So, what needs to be done?”

Reinstate President Trump’s Energy and Immigration policies.

It really IS that simple, Brandon, ya buttwipe!

Here’s some very scary data from US Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Table 2. Producer price index percent changes for selected commodity groupings by Final Demand - Intermediate Demand category, seasonally adjusted:

https://www.bls.gov/news.release/ppi.t02.htm

Stuff that’s UP significantly:

Vegetables - 42.4%
Grains - 16.1%
LP Gas - 12.9%
Heating Oil - 20.2%
Diesel Fuel - 20.4%
Iron & Steel - 27.6%
Machinery Lube - 22.7%
Jet Fuel - 23.0%
Wheat - 24.3%
Slaughter Chickens - 19.0%
Corn - 14.0%

So, basically primary foodstuffs and all of the entailing ENERGY it costs to transport it from the farm to your grocery store.

Plan accordingly, FRiends!

1) allow for oil production on American soil. reinstate Trump incentives.

That alone will drive the cost of everything down.

Maybe that’s why they want open borders, to ump start the Soylent Green Program.

Who will do the work? Not excusing illegal immigration, but to be honest there are few people period working right now.

The corn used for ethanol is not going into human food, and the places that grow that corn do not grow human food.

With input costs the way they are, CRP land may be the only way to make positive cash flow. Even with that, most farmers are going to plant.

The question is will they harvest?
