Biden's gas prices soar again. Up to $3.75/gal

[Woodznutz]

Yeah and most of the time in northern climes, if an ag product goes on sale it is because it was picked green in the field and it is good for nothing.

I'm afraid the 'field ripened' boat sailed long ago. We play baseball with the tomatoes until they are soft enough to eat.

And---with the collapse of Yellow Freightlines, it can only get worse.

They should have taken a hint from Randy Travis. He got nowhere until he changed his name.

 

[Deplorable Yankee]

So much for "Bidenomics".

Everything is still getting more expensive, especially gas. All the things that hit working folks hardest.

dude, the price of goods is up due to higher gas prices. I know that's very complicated for demfks, they can't seem to grasp that whole transportation cost thingy. That then causes salary increases as well for those forking out the money for the gas. I can only assume demofks think product magically appears on the shelf. By the way, the mark up at the store goes up because people salaries increase for the cost of those higher gas prices. My gd the amount of stupid that is a demofk is so overwhelming.

BTW, the feed for animals went up in price guess why? Then the farmers need to increase the cost of the product as well before it is transported, so two layers of additional costs. And you sit ther all condescendingly making snarky comments. dumbfks.

If wages go up along with prices it's a zero-sum game.

That's great if you're not on a fixed income and in your 80s.

Yellow trucking is 99 years old. I think their name has stood the test of time.

I actually haven't bought tomatoes for years now.

Apparently, they've been in trouble for quite a 'time' now.

IT's the corporations that generate inflation with a flick of the pen they increase prices beyond reality. One day capitol hill should get some balls that fines these corporate tax dollar leeches and freeze their assets each time they stimulate inflation.

quite a 'time'

How long is that. Please be specific and quit tossing generalities. I gave you specifics, I believe I am owed the same courtesy.

well, sadly, in Xiden's America that's not happening..in fact real wages are dropping thanks to the Demafascsit war on the working class...

Real average hourly earnings down 3.6 percent​

Real average hourly earnings down 3.6 percent over the 12 months ending June 2022 : The Economics Daily: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics

Real average hourly earnings for all employees on private nonfarm payrolls decreased 3.6 percent from June 2021 to June 2022. The change in real average hourly earnings combined with a decrease of 0.9 percent in the average workweek resulted in a 4.4 percent decrease in real average weekly...

All you have to do it ask.

It seems that Yellow has been on shaky financial ground for most of those 99 years.

In any area where tomatoes are grown commercially, they are dumped in fields for cattle. True, they are good for something.

So some time is just a clever way of saying about three percent of the time they've been in business. I would say that is an insignificant statistic.

One source said they've been in trouble since 1951.

Not worth a response. Companies that are in trouble don't survive 73 years. Try again. BTW, who is that source?
