Whack commodities pricing
Farmers are dumping milk down the drain because consumer demand has dried up, allegedly because of closed bars and restaurants.
I'd buy milk if it cost a reasonable amount for what is mostly a jug of water. It's cheaper to buy nearly four gallons of gas than it is to buy one gallon of milk. Looks like they'd rather write the loss off than get real with the pricing.
COVFEFE shut down a MAJOR hog processing facility so I read pork prices are tumbling. Looked at buying a package of bacon and that hasn't dropped a cent. No sale. Gonna be tough to shove those pigs down a drain.
Reminds me several things that I, a price-point purchaser, have 100% dropped over the years: Orange juice, chocolate milk, potato chips, Top the Tator, Oreos, Velveeta, peanuts… I used to buy the hell outta that stuff before the prices DOUBLED.
