is because of bird flu. some have said it will not be workable. this is a butcher in beccles in suffolk. you can get more traditional than this. the firm has been in the town for more than a hundred years. every christmas it sells 300 free range turkeys. what they won t be doing is what the government has recently suggested, which is that some turkey producers, to avoid the threat of bird flu, is that they process their birds early, freeze them and then thaw them for sale. here, that is simply not workable. the farmers have their workers simply not workable. the farmers have their workers coming - simply not workable. the farmers have their workers coming in - simply not workable. the farmers | have their workers coming in from abroad, they are booked in months in advance. to change that day to bring them in early is not viable. it doesn t work. other problems being storage, everyone has to be geared up storage, everyone has to be geared up to have these big freezers to freeze the bi
$20 more. or the a and p if, that bag of groceries costs more. that s what people are seeing and feeling in their own lives. and i think what they re seeing is that the administration doesn t really have a sense of what to do because they re misdiagnosing the problem. david: yeah. and, kyle, one thing that a lot of people are afraid of is if they continue blaming producers for inflation rather than their own policies, we may get the to the era of price controls. and price controls always lead to shortages. so we may end up with not only high prices, but also empty levels at the market. yeah. i m skeptical that the biden administration will go there just because of the bad history. but it is remarkable to watch this flame game going on. my favorite blame game. i think elizabeth warren was talking about greedy grocery companies because the grocery business is a very competitive, cutthroat business with very low
[laughter] you know, it s really remarkable. old democratic playbook, make a political mistake, blame a big company. you know, the meat example is a very, very good one. they re claiming because we don t have enough meatpackers, not enough competition. well, the real problem is they can t get enough labor. and so there are shortages, and so prices are going up. and then add in and that ll be the same thing if there s new producers too, so that will make no difference. and as you said, add in all of these regulations? it s exactly the wrong policy approach. david: bill, we do have the unemployment figure coming down to 3.9% which is pretty close to full employment by the federal reserve s definition, but that makes it more likely that the fed is going to have to raise interest rates, and that could hurt businesses. i m just wondering if we re entering into that awful period of high inpolice station and low growth, stagflation.
biden administration. and the risk, it seems to me, that the worse it gets, the worse it s going to get. people who are out of the labor force not coming back in, the longer they re not in the work force, the harder it is to get them to return. expect biden administration s whole argument has been that this is a supply supply-side problem. once we get the bottlenecks in the supply chain figures out figured out, the inflation will be transitory. but if people are not getting if bosses are not getting people tired hired, then it seems those supply problems are going to per cyst into next year. david: well, kim, they re going beyond that to blame it on producers. it s the fault of producers whether it s oil producers, they re causing inflation, or whether it s meat producers or turkey producers, a whole host of things. and their solution to that is more regulations. yeah.
