The spike in beef prices are directly related to the years of allowed collusion between the big4 packers, depressing fat cattle prices. You stack a multi year drought on almost a decade of depressed cattle prices and you get massive herd dispersal and ranchers getting out leading to lowest herd numbers in around 60 years. Then add inflation and the new world screw worm returning to the US via MX for the first time since the 40s and guess what. Beef prices went up.

Roughly 85% market control by the big four. It used to be that the CR4 four-firm concentration ratio would have regulators looking for signs of a growing monopoly when that number crossed 40%, and seriously expecting to find it when that went over 60%. Same with the HHI index - even back in 1996 it was over 2,200... when the USDA regards markets above 1,800 "to be highly
concentrated." Government has known and government has just chosen not to care for the last 30 years.

But sure people are going to watch ranchers eat shite and struggle for 20+ years and then blame them for finally making a little money so they can suck off their Orange god. It's dumb behavior, and I supported the guy.

OP could be wearing a Longhorn shirt, doing the Aggie yell squad cheers, and trying to shove a cowbell up his arse while simultaneously whistling....

Still wouldn't be as gay as that post.

Pigs.

We run-ruled OU yesterday, which means today we get one hit in a 4-run loss. I don't make the rules, I simply observe nature.

The boomers laid hands on him for another prayer circle yet? The GOP deserves a loss if they want to keep pushing this dude.

Danged ol Mizzou gave us backshots today wtf

Nothing new

Trump is not equivalent to an "off the rack, generic Conservative candidate." No one else in the 2016 primary was going to beat Hillary. You can't try to make that comparison and then call any other opinion a losing game plan, because you already look like a total fricking tard.

These hapless fricks are only in power now because the Dems ran the people they did, and what are they doing with the opportunity? Election integrity? Mass deportations? End to abusing a foreign spying power to spy on citizens? At least companies have a portal now to get refunds of tariff money that they passed to consumers instead.

Best thing that can happen is giving the D's two years to frick shite up before the big one in 2028. I'm for it.

May 1995. Early summer, at the pool most days and the ballpark most nights. Country music was at its best, smartphones didn't exist, and Morgan Nick hadn't been abducted from a park 20 miles away that we all spent time at.

So, Georgia... we cool? Or did we do something to upset you? Stop it.

That was so f'king incredible
