The pizza guy and Ethanol

A real world example of how the global warming nonsense which led to government subsidized corn production has effected our lives.
I made friends with the pizza guy in our complex, we share an espresso every evening.
He was telling me about flour prices. You see, everyone is planting corn for ethanol so the wheat production has fallen drastically. How drastically you might ask.

20 years ago he paid $9.00 for a bag of flour and over those 20 years it went up to $12.00 a bag. But when the Ethanol program kicked in the price of flour soared to $42.00 a bag!

Poor pizza Guy
Poor us
The days of the dollar slice are gone.
