Lockdown May Cause Beer Shortage!!!

This is getting serious.

Dwindling supplies of carbon dioxide from ethanol plants are sparking concern about shortages of beer, soda and seltzer water – essentials for many quarantined Americans....

...Brewers and soft-drink makers use carbon dioxide, or CO2, for carbonation, which gives beer and soda fizz. Ethanol producers are a key provider of CO2 to the food industry...

...But ethanol, which is blended into the nation’s gasoline supply, has seen production fall sharply due to the drop in gasoline demand as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Gasoline demand is down by more than 30% in the United States....
First off:  I have said for YEARS that this ethanol (Corn-A-Hole) thing is a sop to some farmers which raises the price of corn AND the price of most 3rd-world meals which consist of a LOT of corn.

Secondly.........well.............COME TO THE DEMONSTRATION in MADISTAN at 1:00 PM THIS FRIDAY.
