[Diogenes]

Yeah a lot of lettuce and tomatoes in the winter are grown in greenhouses which are heated with ENERGY. Then they are shipped using ENERGY.

Greenhouses are warmed by the sun, aren't they?

THE ANSWER​

View attachment 34145

The president does not control grocery prices in the U.S. Instead, “prices generally are set by sellers, and price change typically comes from market forces,” according to Steve Reed, an economist at the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Market forces are economic factors that influence the price and quantity of goods and services, driving supply and demand in a market.

“There is no direct control of food prices by the president or any branch of government,” Reed told VERIFY.

No, the president does not control grocery prices

Grocery retailers choose how much to charge for the food they sell and take into account economic factors, known as market forces, that affect prices.

MAGA sure likes to whine about the implications of unrestricted Capitalism. All while they claim anything less is evil Socialism.

Wut? It's not a matter of excusing or not excusing. It's about accepting expert facts instead of maga lies.

What "expert" facts? Tbe "expert fact" that 6' of social distancing was suppose to stop the spread of covid but 3 years later, the "expert" fauci said the 6' social distancing thing "sort of just appeared". Are you insane? Do you people even take a second to THINK or do you just spew whatever stupid thought pops into your head?

Here's the deal pussycat.
Given a normal growing season for any given product, the cost to the consumer will be directly tied to energy prices. The sooner you understand that fact, the sooner you might sound smarter.

You're drifting, tomcat. Read the article. Nobody said that the cost of energy isn't a factor, just that it's not the only factor. You magas will go to any length to blame Biden/Harris and government for something that's largely out of their control. I bet you think food prices will drop magically if trump is elected.

“As we’ve seen across the economy, price increases are driven by a perfect storm of factors, including inflation, rising product costs driven by supply chain pressures, a nationwide labor shortage, and increases in costs for inputs such as energy and commodity ingredients,” Strange said in an email."

Imagine the impact on food prices if xenophobes deport millions of agricultural workers.

Let's be polite and say there will be an upward trend.
