Sugar, Subsidies, and Speculation
Ever notice how prices are not attached to physical things? Take for instance the price of gas: It’s built on a market that guesses how much gasoline will be at a later date. They say that up to 50% of the cost of gas may be simply people making money and artificially forcing up the price!
Sugar is another interesting commodity. Did you know that the reason that sugar is expensive is not because there is not supply, but because America is propping up two different industries here in the states?
