Campus Reform reporter Ophelie Jacobson joined “Varney and Co.” on Thursday after speaking to dozens of students at the University of Florida in Gainesville about inflation and beer.
She told FOX Business host Stuart Varney, at first, students showed no concern about inflation. However, they changed their tune once the price of everyday goods that college students use like gas, used cars, and beer was brought up.
A recent Wall Street Journal report found that beer prices were up 70% from last year, partly due to a supply chain shortage in aluminum for cans and “bad” trade policy.
When Jacobsen pointed to the surge in brew prices, students’ outlook on inflation instantly changed.
“It makes having a fun night more expensive,” one student told Jacobson.
