Trump's Mass Deportations Will Increase Food Prices

[Marener]

Carbon taxes don't support the oil industry, neither do rescinded oil leases.

$80 a barrel oil supports the oil industry, which is why we drill more now than ever before.

$80 a barrel oil translates to $3 gas.

Tell me where there is $3 gas on the west coast. WA today in my town, $3.69. Jan 18, 2021---$2.25. The difference? Joe Biden.

The amount we are drilling is irrelevant except in relation to what we are consuming. Also, any oil that's currently being produced was already "in the works" before Biden entered office. It takes 5 to 10 years to develop an oil field.

We don't need Americans picking crops for $12 per hour. $20 maybe

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Carbon taxes add to the price, donkey. So do rescinded oil leases as the price of fuel since Biden's EO has clearly demonstrated. Sorry it doesn't fit with your narrative.

That is not what he asked. You simply don't understand how this all works. You are goofy.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

LOL.

So explain it to all of us. Why would raising wages through Government mandate not raise prices but raising them through market forces would?

You are talking about minimum incomes, no one else is because it is not applicable.

We are talking about raising wages leading to raising prices. Try to keep up.

And on Jan. 18, 2021 according to YOUR graph the US average was $2.38. The difference? Joe Biden. Try again.

 

[HikerGuy83]

That is simple statement of fact. Food prices will go up as deportations go ahead. Slots will be hard to fill and wages will go up for workers in industry. Wage increases will be passed along to the American Consumer.

Oooops.

More inflation.

I hope not.

At least I can still keep my health insurance.

Comprehension isn't your forte', eh? Please keep up. No wonder you voted for Harris.

Dislocating the harvest force will raise prices, because volumes will go down.

You simply are a concrete learner. We will leave you with that.

Maybe we can use convict labor to support the prisons and welfare labor to pay for the snap cards. Gee, that's a novel idea, eh?

Bringing back the convict/lease programs would make good economic sense.

 

[lennypartiv]

The cost of wages will be passed on the distributors who will in turn increase price paid for good and services. This very basic high school economics.

So let's drop the minimum wage back where it was thirty years ago.

That's dicey, but possible, yes.

 

[LeftofLeft]

You made the lie. Prove it. It is your burden of proof. I simply refuted your falsehood.

You got called out and can't fix it.

You haven’t refuted anything other than saying my statement was a lie. If you refuted it, you would have supporting facts.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

If anything, deportations will accelerate the mechanization of food production and drive prices down.
