The U.S. isn't the largest supplier of beef to china, south American countries are. Even if it was purely supply and demand, a steady supply and an increase in demand shouldn't see this level of price increase. I guess by this line of reasoning, china has bought up all of our new vehicles and gas too. But yeah, we're the easily manipulated ones. You must really enjoy the smell of your own farts.

I am sure it has nothing to do with the Biden Administration giving financial aid to black farmers instead of the majority of farmers who are white.

This is part of the globalists agenda for people to eat seed oils and pesticide ridden vegetables

Select? Better off grinding it into hamburger. I'll eat a shitty Waffle House steak and eggs, from time to time, but no way I'm buying select to throw on the grill. I get one go around on this Earth, and I'm not buying a damn piece of leather to eat.

i read this as a very specific example of… inflation. Your costs increased as a result of policy. The result is increased prices to consumers…

Never change OT.

I wouldn’t buy select ribeyes for ME to eat. SMH. I buy this and cook for my dogs to eat while I’m grilling the $250 lb. Kobe beef for me and my OT 10 wife.

Bill Gates likes expensive steak and doesn’t think peasants like us should be able to eat it.

I said they're buying the feed, not the beef.

Care to show your work?

I point out one reason the cost of beef specifically is rising, and you think that same exact thing applies to everything?

You haven't shown me anything to believe otherwise.

Hey Klark, will you be the first to point to where prices started rising on my chart on page 2?

The real answer is supply chain disruption, increase in price for transportation costs and greed. Logistics are screwed from the shutdown which increased price of transportation and that affects it. There isn’t a shortage of meat at this point as the labor in production returned to work. The first time it was because of supply going down as Covid hit farms, slaughter houses and plants down. At this point it’s greed and customers are paying a high premium for an already high product.

I don't want a hamburger or chicken. I want a steak.

Whatever happened to knowing how to cook? People really can't "make do" with Select beef anymore? I hope this is mostly OTL hard-legging.

Why don't those things affect chicken and pork?
