Things going up in price at the grocery store

No chickens are going to China for processing....

Chinese facilities have been eligible to process US chicken for nearly a decade​

China has been able to process chicken from the United States since 2013, when four chicken processors were approved to export cooked poultry products from birds raised in the U.S., Canada and Chile. Politico and The New York Times reported about concerns over Chinese chicken exports reaching the American market, with the latter reporting that the country “does not have the best track record for food safety.”

In 2017, the rules were changed, and the first known shipment of cooked chicken from poultry raised in China arrived in the U.S., according to the Washington Post. It came after a trade deal, supported by then-President Donald Trump, to send more U.S. beef to China while receiving more Chinese poultry in the U.S., the Post reported.

Trump allowed Chinese grown poultry into the USA. Choke on them feathers
MAGA MAGA

Yep, that occurred under Obama and not stopped by either Trump or Biden, the two party system favors the rich. Time to change.

Here’s which grocery store items will get more expensive because of tariffs

President Donald Trump, during his announcement last week of sweeping tariffs on countries around the world, called groceries an “old-fashioned” and “beautiful term.” But his policies will make America’s groceries more expensive today, supermarket executives and food industry experts say.

Aside from a lot of BS the media still perpitrates and spews out, the ONLY things going up in price are items manufactured OUTSIDE of this country. If you buy a lot of wine from Italy or France, yeah.....you're going to pay more. If you buy wine produced INSIDE the USA, no tarriffs involved.

Sure, theres going to be corrupt companies taking advantage of this and jacking up their already price gouging prices even more..........but its YOU, THE CONSUMER that can stop that!!! Just LEAVE IT ON THE SHELF! Stop dumping your wallets into these corrupt companies and start leaving their products on the shelves for other brands that aren't price gouging their customers.

Past consumer projects such as changing brand companies that don't price gouge, or just not buying the product any more, has shown that just after only 3 months, that these companies being "left on the shelf" get the picture and drop prices.

If you don't like the price tag, then DON'T BUY IT!!! That simple.

Trump fighting with China might affect a lot of companies, but are these companies that we REALLY need the Chinese junk they sell?
No. Theres plenty of other options.

Could it be a rough ride for us? Sure it could..........just like the last 4 years of HARD CORE PRICE GOUGING has been a detrement to all of us........but this time, we have a president that is working his business magic to make things BETTER for us, not WORSE!!!

Wrong.

Price increases are completely unnecessary, just as Trump’s reckless, irresponsible tariffs are unnecessary.

If Jesus T says it's ok they fall right in line.

And no different with partisan Democrats, remember the lie they pushed that Biden was cognizant, that Covid-19 could not be possibly be from a lab? The Covid shot would prevent the vaccinated from getting it or spreading it, the two party system has done us wrong, but the partisans can’t accept reality.

 

[Bleipriester]

Yes both party’s lie to us, I can tell when I see their lips move. We need to find a new party that isn’t owned by the rich.

You cannot reform the system. It would just break.

 

[RoshawnMarkwees]

Democrats are so stupid and media so dishonest.
Complaining about the impact tariffs have on prices, not understanding the long-term positive impact while ignoring the policies of the previous democrat administration that drove prices up by 40% with no positive theoretical impact, long-term or otherwise.
I expected this but it’s still frustrating to see. Like dealing with retarded people.

The American poultry industry sends a lot out to China for processing before they get it back.
Also china recently purchased the largest pork producer in North America and now owns it. As far as I'm concerned that sale should have been stopped by the commerce department.

I don't know about pork being shipped but large shipments of chicken do come in from China after they've been processed.

Export of pork products to China is banned. End of story. You were incorrect.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

The largest pork producer in the United States, Smithfield Foods, has been owned by China's WH Group since 2013, following a $4.7 billion deal aimed at tapping into US meat supplies for export to China. justoffal

Smithfield Foods sale to Chinese firm gives US pork giant entry to China

Boards approve Shuanghui International's buyout of world's largest pork producer but deal likely to face US regulatory hurdles

www.theguardian.com

Pork product exports to China are banned.

From your link:

Shuanghui, also known as Shineway, is China's largest pork producer and is part owned by an investment firm run by Goldman Sachs.

Pork product exports to China are banned.

are you sure?

U.S. pork facilities cleared to export to China again​

Approximately 55% of pork variety meats (offal) exports go to China.

I never said anything about pork being exported what I said was we send chickens to China for processing and then get them back.

Almost 10 years ago, the Department of Agriculture gave Chinese processing plants the greenlight to process raw poultry from the U.S. and export cooked products — such as canned chicken noodle soup and chicken nuggets — back to America.

Also a few years ago the Chinese purchased America's largest pork producer. I have no idea what they do with the product all I know is that they own the company. A sale that I believe should have been disallowed.

In 2013, Smithfield Foods, the United States' largest pork producer, was acquired by China's WH Group for $4.7 billion. This acquisition was the largest of a U.S. company by a Chinese buyer at the time. Smithfield Foods is now an independent subsidiary of WH Group.

Yes.

These tarriffs mean that USA sources goods and services WILL BE IN HEAVY DEMAND.

I guess you didn't know we already have a trade surplus in the services sector.

Trump won't tell you that so he can claim credit for it later.

This means that all of these smaller "Made in the USA" companies have a good chance of growing expenentially over the next 4 years, making THEM the new "big brands" we see on shelves.

AND this gives AMERICAN FARMERS more of a chance of ACTUALLY FARMING and making their farms our staples for our own needs, as it should be in the first place.

Farmers are going to be the very first sector to be damaged by Trump's tariffs.

Just like they were in Trump's first tariff war.

The US taxpayer had to bail them out, and will have to again.

Bullshit!

You said:

"Pork is coming back down.... Even though a lot of it comes from China."

We do not import any pork from China and do not export anything to China. Take a few minutes and check yourself, please.

 

[g5000]

Oops. It's already happening again.

A bailout for farmers caught in Trump’s trade war is already being discussed. ‘If we don’t get something, it will be quite a disaster’​

​

Trump is such a dumbass.

Ahhh.....I see what you mean.....hmmm OK
Sorry I questioned you on that

I was talking about chicken but yes technically the way that sentence is set up that's what it says. Didn't mean to mislead you.

We should have gone over to a consumption tax a long time ago.

Abso-fucking-lutely!

 

[g5000]

We should have gone over to a consumption tax a long time ago.

I want to expound on my enthusiastic agreement.

No tax scheme of any kind will succeed so long as we keep allowing special interests to be given exemptions, credits, and deductions.

We currently give away $1.6 trillion EVERY YEAR in tax expenditures, most of which benefits the wealthy.

All of our politicians have been bribed to tilt the playing field so that your money rolls out of your pocket into the pockets of the one percent.

Therefore, even a tax on production (such as the income tax) would be easily balanced, and even produce a surplus, if we banned tax expenditures.

But no politician in their right mind is going to end their gravy train on purpose.

We're all fucked.

Why all the concern now

There's 98 threads back there with you retards going what's the big deal .....

Also there is no crisis at the border


Consumer price inflation eased more than expected in March as President Donald Trump prepared to launch tariffs against U.S. trading partners, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Thursday.

The consumer price index, a broad measure of goods and services costs across the U.S. economy, fell a seasonally adjusted 0.1% in March, putting the 12-month inflation rate at 2.4%, down from 2.8% in February.

Excluding food and energy, so-called core inflation ran at a 2.8% annual rate, having increased 0.1% for the month. That was the lowest rate for core inflation since March 2021

By the way. Inflation is a trailing indicator.
