It is that step that I am concerned about If there is any product where pure supply and demand works it is dog food. There are over 20 brands that compete for the dog food dollar No company can control the market. But, the Government can by distroying the source of raw materials in the name of Public Health. "We acted in the Public Interest to protect you from Bird Flu; that there are now just 3 mega companies making dog food, well that is just ‘Collateral Damage.’ The fact that those companies survived is proof that “Woke Practices” are good business." Those 3 companies can now raise prices as you propose. Crony Capitalism at its’ best.
Not necessarily. Here is a prediction I hope will not come true, I need to be able to buy dog food to feed my dogs. I’ve had dogs over 70 years and NEVER BEFORE has there been a shortage of dog food. It The US Government is killing whole flocks of chickens and turkeys allegedly to stop the spread of Bird Flu. It is even killing flocks that are isolated and have no cases of Bird Flu. The current practice will result in a shortage of chickens for both humans and to make dog food.
Yes. My mother’s family came to Georgia with Ogleyhorpe (1732). I am VERY distantly related to Jimmy Carter. My Wife is from Wisconsin. which almost got me disowned. She cannot stand blackeye peas or corn bread.
