@LAGovJeffLandry @JeffLandry @LAStatePolice It’s really time to ensure LSU students are safe every single day and night. My 2 children are there and we want our students to have a safe environment 24 hours a day. I believe so much more can be done for our Tigers. We love LSU. It’s time for Louisiana to love us back.

@EthicalSkeptic This concerns me greatly. Young men who have had everything they valued be targeted are reaching a breaking point.

@JackPosobiec Time to bankrupt Fauci in court. He deserves it.

@BaseballDudes48 Guys figure it out. Hopefully the exit is on their own terms. Sometimes the decision gets made for them in the college world.
Parents don’t need to name it. Ask questions, discuss, support? Absolutely. But parents don’t need decide, kids figure it out. It’s major life change.

@boriquagato We are from Texas, my son is at LSU. Both roommates are from the NE. It took him 7 months to meet people from Louisiana. Upper NE, Midwest, West coast all strongly represented. Admissions are way up, they said 80,000 for roughly 12,000 spots.

@KirkHerbstreit @CollegeGameDay We’d all better off if we all had soft hearts and strong souls. Thanks for sharing yours with us.
Peace be with you. 💜💛💜💛

@KirkHerbstreit I’m really sorry to read this. I’ll miss seeing Ben on College Game Day, I was hoping my son would get to see him Saturday at LSU. Truly very sorry. Prayers for you all.

People need to stop overreacting about Kamala’s plan to reduce food inflation, as if it would lead to communism, mass starvation, and the end of America.

I worked in M&A in the food industry. Here’s a step-by-step summary of what would actually happen:

1. The government announces that grocery retailers aren’t allowed to raise prices.

2. Grocery stores, which operate on 1-2% net margins, can’t survive if their suppliers raise prices. So the government announces that food producers (Kraft Heinz, ConAgra, Tyson, Hormel, et. al.) also aren’t allowed to raise prices.

3. Not all grocery stores are created equal. Stores in lower-income areas make less money than those in higher-income areas, as the former disproportionately sell lower-margin prepackaged foods (“center of the store”) instead of higher-margin fresh products like meat (“perimeter of the store”). Because stores in lower-income areas aren’t able to cover overhead (remember, even if their wholesale costs are fixed, their labor, utilities, insurance, and other operating expenses aren’t fixed… yet), grocery chains start to shut them down. Food deserts in rural areas and in low-income urban areas alike become worse.

4. Meanwhile, margins for food producers are also quickly eroding. Their primary costs (ingredients, energy, and labor) aren’t fixed, and their shrinking gross profits leave less cash flow available to cover overhead, maintain facilities, and reinvest in additional production capacity.

5. Grocery chains, which have finite shelf space, start to repurpose their stores (those they didn’t have to shut down, I should say) to sell more non-price-controlled items—everything from nutrition supplements to kitchenware to apparel—and less price-controlled food products. Your local Kroger or Safeway starts to look and feel more like a Walmart.

6. Food producers stop making products with lower margins. Grocery chain start competing with each other to secure inventory. Since they can’t compete by offering stronger prices (remember, producers aren’t allowed to raise prices here, and, even if they could, grocery chains no longer have the gross profit to bear price increases), they compete on things like payment terms.

7. Small grocery chains start to shut down entirely, or get sold to larger chains like Kroger. In addition to not being able to cover fixed costs, a major reason for this is because they can no longer reliably secure delivery of products, due to producers prioritizing sales to larger customers, which are able to leverage their stronger balance sheets to offer superior payment terms.

8. Smaller food producers—which typically sell via distributors, rather than directly to grocery chains—start to go out of business. Because these producers have an additional step their value chains, and because they have lower volumes over which to spread their fixed costs, their cost structure is inherently disadvantaged compared to major food producers. When grocery stores aren’t able to raise prices, cutting product costs becomes all the more important, and deprioritizing purchases from smaller producers is an easy way to do so.

9. As supply chains break down, lines start to form outside grocery stores every morning. Cities assign police officers to patrol store parking lots, and food producers draft contingency plans to assign armed escorts to delivery trucks.

10. The federal government announces a program to issue block grants for states to purchase and operate shuttered grocery stores. The USDA also seizes closed-down production facilities.

11. The government announces that prices for all key food costs—corn, wheat, cattle, energy, etc.—are also now fixed, to stop “profiteers” from gouging the now-government-operated food industry.

12. Shockingly, the government struggles to operate one of the most complex industries on the planet. The entire food supply chain starts imploding.

13. Communism, mass starvation, and the end of America quickly ensue.
