The unemployed socialist windsock took a rare break from data centers to rant about the phantom “food monopolies” he blames for his failure as a farmer. Of course, the REAL reason he is a failure as a farmer is he’s too lazy to grow anything. It’s hard to get paid for a crop when it doesn’t exist.
He much prefers driving around and grifting money off of little old ladies instead.
So, he blames those nefarious “monopolies” for destroying the little guy farmer – even though there are 226,000 farms in Texas today….same as there were about 35 years ago!
The problem with the “greedy monopolies” and mysterious “Big Shots gouging us” is this chart. It shows general grocery prices from 2014 onwards…..
Here is another view of the same thing:
So from 2014 to 2020, all of these “greedy monopolies” were totally asleep at the wheel. They missed chance after chance to “squeeze” and “gouge” the hapless consumer. They TOTALLY forgot to “rig the system” for six years straight! Grocery prices were remarkably flat all that time!
Then something weird happened in the 2020 and 2021 timeframe, obviously. Even a total imbecile like Clayton Tucker (or any of his cheerleaders) can CLEARLY see that prices took off very suddenly at that exact moment.
Anyone with an IQ over 65 will know that BOOM is due to Covid. Or rather, the insane overreaction to the Covid cold virus that had a 99.98 survival rate.
Anyone with an IQ over 95 (this excludes the fake farmer, obviously) knows that when you slam the brakes on a $22 trillion economy, pay people to stay home instead of produce goods/services and then print $7 trillion currency units into existence, the result is MASSIVE INFLATION.
Guys like me warned about it as morons like Clayton Tucker and Bruce Haywood DEMANDED the economy stay closed and more “stimulus” printed into existence.
“Derp derp! It’s just free magic money from the government! Derp! Print more! Print more! Derp!”
[For those of you who don’t live in Lampasas, Bruce Haywood is a much fatter, slightly dumber version of Clayton Tucker. Another unemployed parasite and far-left nutjob]
The result was predictable. The price of EVERYTHING got jacked about 30% over those years. Not just food! Everything. Car insurance. Lumber. Hotel rooms. Used cars. Widgets. Gas cans.
It’s called inflation through currency debasement. It’s happened in every empire. The government (the government Clayton adores and wants more of!) spends more than it has to buy votes so it has to debase the currency over time. Inflation is just an insidious, hidden tax.
Poor Clayton. Too dumb to understand any of it so he invents boogeymen like “grocery monopolies” to explain it – like a primitive culture inventing gods to explain thunder and lightning.
Moron.
P.S. – if the stupid, ripped-off masses are out there YEARNING for cheaper produce and want to cut out the ‘middle-man’ they could invent something like a “farmers market” and sell direct to consumer. Oh wait. They already did that! Clayton just ignores the farmers market 2 blocks from mom’s house because he has nothing to sell! LOL.
