Mr. Johnnie said, it does not make sense for locally sourced chickens to be shipped to China, then returned back here. Then I thought, tuna caught off Massachusetts goes to Japan and comes back sushi. Maybe $3,000 in deadliest catch becomes $30,000 in juicy morsels.
A whirlwind tour: anything caught in the vortex of Made in USA to Made in China back to USA gets caught in inflation. Johnnie asked why. I had no answers, but I ended with port authorities in Charleston paying the homeless $17 an hour to unload ships arriving from who knows where with BMW's to frozen chicken. I could see the look of concern on his face.
