Iowa Farmers across have had enough of the government telling them to euthanize their livestock. There are farmers who are selling the pigs to the public and recommending processors. This started with a post on Facebook and took off from there. People want pork, they have pigs ready to be processed. It’s true capitalism and socialism. One person has a supply, another person has a demand. Socialism comes in because the farmers are taking ownership of the product they produced and getting the profits.
Our next story is of Aldi’s new curbside service. In response to COVID-19, they are starting a curbside service. My only question is what took them so long? This is a popular service for many stores like Kroger. Aldi’s is already a part of the Instacart trend. Do I expect it to stay with them? Yes. It’s popular.
