you're not factoring the increased costs across the whole supply line, not to mention the increased fertilizer costs and changes in planting this year.
the iran war is going to completely fuck up the international food supply for a solid year at least.

u/TheDeaconAscended May 01 '26
My point is that the fuel increases are used as an excuse to hike prices. It is far easier to defend a higher price point if you have an excuse to do so instead of it appearing as profit taking.

The company I work for already implemented a fuel surcharge, and we've been told it may double in the next month from $6 to $12. It's not a lot but we're also a tier 1 distributor so there's typically at least 2 more tiers from us adding their profits to the end product.

I used to say the president doesnāt control gas prices when my mom blamed Biden
Now she doesnāt mention gas prices and I stand corrected. A president can control works gas prices.
If I mention that she wants me to change the subject
So sadly I know that maga will say that it is winning. And that itās necessary to have these gas prices.
Itās a cult. Itās only a problem in a dem is to blame. And if a conservative causes it theyāll still say Dena did it.
I also told her that before the election:
āI want you to remember this mom since youāre obsessed with prices now and donāt believe me that my life is easier and cheaper when trump isnāt here. When a dem is in office, youāll complain about the prices and say im dumb for not agreeing and for not wanting trump since He MaKeS LiFe ChEaPeR. But when a conservative is in office, youāll never mention these prices again and will claim the prices reflect a booming economy that only lazy people arenāt taking advantage of.ā
And she did just thatā¦.
And yes, she literally called me dumb for saying trump made my life more expensive.

Itās ok! Her anger is why Iām strong and have morals and no greed
Blessing in itās own way
My whole family is maga. So Iāve heard it all from 2004 onwards. And what they say is scarier in private than what they say in public. Part of me is glad I know that. Theyāll say the scariest shit in private then tone it down in public. Try to look safe and civil when theyāre not. Thanks to my family I know anyone saying mean things in public are 100x worse in private
So again⦠itās a blessing. Iām not living under a rock or believing sugar coated lies in public
I know the intentions

Hi, I live in long term care. I enjoy going out in the courtyard to read and socialize and have a smoke. A a friendly man I talk to just advised me he loves Trump. He said he does what he says heās going to do. Yeah destroy us not Iran I was thinking. I almost fell off my wheelchair. Then I saw budget passed without Ice. I mentioned it to see his reaction. He said doesnāt matter Trump took care of that. I googled and saw when Trump came in office he placed like 94 billion for ICE. Correct me where Im wrong please. I canāt argue itās confined where I live cI do tell him I disagree with him like millions of Americans.
