I’m Here From the Government. . .

 

From the Mind of a Dumb ole Biker from Somewhere in the Backwoods of Southeast, Texas.

Kamala Harris has vowed to go after the grocery retailers, farmers and ranchers for price gouging. 

Do you know what the average profit margin is for most grocery retailers? 1 to 3%. You are reading that correctly. They don't operate on a very large profit margin. 

Here's what will happen when the Government starts price fixing. 

Many grocery stores will go out of business. Many supply chains will go out of business. Farmers and Ranchers will go out of business. 

Farmers and Ranchers are already dealing with too many governmental regulations to be profitable. The real reason food prices are going up and staying up is the Farmers and Ranchers are having to deal with all those governmental regulations. 

Once the government gets into the price fixing game, it's game over for the food industry. Farmers and Ranchers are not going to operate at a loss. Once the cost to produce outweighs the cost of expenditures. then these farmers and ranchers will have no choice but to close the doors on their operations. 

Once that happens, there will be rationing, and cost will skyrocket, and the sad part is, these people are telling you to your face what they are doing. Most Americans are for the lack of a better word, are too stupid to understand what they're doing. These Elitist Democrats are telling you, all you have to do is listen. In their own words. "Someone is going to have to give up a piece of the pie so others can have more." or " No one needs to take more than their fair share." Then you have "No one needs to take more than they need."

Who decides what size your piece of the pie is? Who decides what's your fair share? Who decides what you and your family needs? Do you really want the government deciding for you? 

These people are blaming the American people for their failed policies and many Americans can't seem to grasp what they're doing. Blaming Farmers and Ranchers for their failed policies, blaming the grocery store retailers for their failed policies. The farmers, ranchers and grocery stores do not operate at the so-called profit margin these people would have you believe they do. 

Well, what do I know about such things? After all, I've told you from the beginning, I'm just a Dumb ole Biker. 

I do know this:

A 1 to 3% Profit Margin at best, is what our food supply industry operates at, but never fear the government is here.  The government is responsible for the high cost of everything around you, with their frivolous spending and failed policies. Now they're trying to convince you, by taking over and setting the prices, things will be better. Nothing good has ever come out of: 

"I'm from the Government and I'm here to Help."
