Oyster Prices

[1srelluc]

I remember that in 1976 it was a thing for a local store we order our oysters from to sell a gallon of oysters (selects) this time of year for $19.76 to celebrate the Centennial.

That's $106.63 in today's money.

A gallon of oysters (selects) this year was $175.00 at the same store.....Up $30.00 a gallon from last year....Thanks Biden.

You really are a sophist dumbshit.

Industrialization and dredging of the waters in England led to overfishing, and as more people moved to the coast, more and more sewage ended up dumped in oyster-growing waters. Soon, there were outbreaks of typhoid and other diseases, and many oyster beds had to be closed.

Makes me wonder what a gallon of oysters weighs.

Conservatives tend to live in the past.

 

[Moonglow]

The answer is that humans are the cause of oyster prices increasing, not Biden.

Somewhere round a gallon at a guess .

Is Biden not a human?

If they would research before showing us their ignorance we might not make fun of them.

No, he's a droid.

I guess it depends on how they are packed but they usually come in at four pounds.

Beware of "repacks" some stores pull.

The present and future are rooted in the past. If you don't know where you came from, how can you know where you are going?

Worse--- 99.99999% of our lives and development all lie in our past--- the future does not yet exist, the present is but a blink, here and gone, leaving only our past.

 

[Natural Citizen]

Never had an oyster.

Seems like I'd be eating a hocker.

It's what it looks like anyway.

So never could get beyond that image to try em.
