Trumpflation: Record beef prices raise Memorial Day cookout costs

[g5000]

Beef prices set records last month at U.S. grocery stores, and economists expect they will climb further as demand increases during the summer grilling season that traditionally begins with cookouts on Memorial Day on Monday.


[snip]


One consumer feeling the pinch is DeAndrea Chavis, an artificial intelligence analyst in Raleigh, North Carolina, who buys ground beef nearly every week to prep tacos and other dishes for lunch but lately is making smaller portions because of rising prices.

Chavis said she has seen lean ground beef prices climb above $9 per pound from $6 to $8 in recent months. She is planning to keep hamburgers on the menu for a cookout next week but may have more hot dogs in the mix to control costs.

"Ground beef is supposed to be a cheaper option," said Chavis, 28. "Now that is even starting to add up."

The MAGA crowd blamed high egg prices on Biden, so what goes around comes around.

This is just getting started. Trump's insane, random, arbitrary, punitive, inexplicable tariffs are about to kick in.

American companies paid $16.5 BILLION just to accept incoming shipments last month. Annualized, that's about $200 BILLION.

Mac is SPINNING the news again since in is not possible to come up with stats of imports in less than a month.

While it's impossible to verify the exact figure of $16.5 billion, it's plausible that American companies paid a substantial sum in tariffs on incoming shipments last month (April 2025) due to recently implemented trade policies.

Here's why:

1. Trump Administration's Trade Policies:

• The Trump administration implemented a series of tariffs in early 2025, including a 10% baseline tariff on nearly all imported goods and higher "reciprocal" tariffs on goods from countries with trade deficits or policies deemed anti-competitive by the US.
• Potential for High Tariff Revenue:
• Analysts projected that these tariffs would generate substantial revenue for the US government.
• However, the Penn Wharton Budget Model notes that the tariffs would also lead to decreased imports and negative impacts on the US economy.

In summary: The claim that American companies paid a significant amount in tariffs last month is consistent with the trade policies enacted by the Trump administration in early 2025. The exact figure would depend on the specific types and volumes of goods imported and the applicable tariff rates.

• • The Economic Effects of President Trump's Tariffs
    Apr 10, 2025 — * Summary: Many trade models fail to capture the full harm of tariffs. PWBM projects Trump's tariffs (April 8, 2025) will reduce long-run GDP by about 6% and wa...

You'll need to point out that's only 1/2 lb as well.
At times, some bologna has been more than ribeye or sirloin.

I can get ground beef for $3.50/lb.
Not at Wally World though, they're gouging.
Still have a $6.99 rib roast, it'll come down soon again.
