last year a load if manure was $6,000 but this year 16 thousand.
Diesel fuel for farmers was 16 thousand, this year 32 thousand.
Farmers could be pinched to extinction.

They say shit rolls downhill.
Are you effected by inflation?????

"Diesel fuel for farmers was 16 thousand, this year 32 thousand."

Surely that depends on how much diesel each farmer uses, the size of the farm will have huge differences to every farmers usage.

A uninformed statement me thinks.

From what I've heard today, we'd all better start panic-buying chickens before they reach a hundred quid each...

chickens don't need manure or diesel.
So we don't mind inflation at 6% overall. Some of it is a scam but not all.
I bet US gas is still cheaper than Europe.

Chickens are being destroyed because of another round of avian flu. I suggest you buy a few and put them in the freezer.

I'm seeing things go up that don't make much sense - except it is probably gouging.

"Chickens don't need manure or diesel."

Yeah, right.

Chickens need feed. The cost of feed has soared astronomically.

Chickens need warmth for most of the year. The cost of all kinds of heating fuel has soared astronomically.

Chickens need to be transported to all the places it's consumed. The cost of that transport has rocketed.   

So.

the costs of insurrection are rising as well.
The fundamentals and definition of free speech in the USA is up to the court. In the USA what is protected speech is either political free speech or religious free speech. There are exceptions even there in the where and what as in a protest that is violent as in the Capitol building. Symbolic free speech is protected; In 1990 (U.S. v. Eichman), the Court struck down government bans on "flag desecration." Other examples of protected symbolic speech include works of art, T-shirt slogans, political buttons, music lyrics and theatrical performances but not Mudcat which is private property.

Government can limit some protected speech by imposing "time, place and manner" restrictions. This is most commonly done by requiring permits for meetings, rallies and demonstrations. But a permit cannot be unreasonably withheld, nor can it be denied based on content of the speech. That would be what is called viewpoint discrimination -- and that is unconstitutional.

When a protest crosses the line from speech to action, the government can intervene more aggressively. Political protesters have the right to picket, to distribute literature, to chant and to engage passersby in debate. But they do not have the right to block building entrances or to physically harass people like on 1-6.

Unprotected speech includes commercial catagories that are numerous.
Citizens subject to fraud and other crimes
are assisted by the judicial department but it is a never ending cat and mouse game between the cops and robbers.

Again I bring up John Stuart Mills who claimed that true free speech must include the bad speech.

The recent drop in the stock market has clobbered my ROTH IRA; however, my ROTH IRA is composed of shares in a couple of mutual funds and the number of shares I own hasn't changed. I should buy more now (buy low) because it eventually goes back up again, and those shares will be back to their old prosperous selves, with a few extra friends purchased during lean times.
