What's For Dinner?

[MayorQuimby]

Try not being a bigot.

Ugh. I didn't even say anything remotely bigoted.

Why are you so brazen-faced?

 

[Crepitus]

But even he didn’t say it was $6/gallon nationally

You sir, don’t have a brain obviously.

A. of course he did. we were talking about national stuff when he posted that.

B. Why would you involve yourself in someone else's lies?

I just saw your quote from him, nowhere did he say nationally

Why do I call you out for lying? Because your lying and the lying of Dembots is a cancer that needs to be addressed

Wow, you Americans are wild. I can only handle food that's been chopped up nicely into manageable pieces, like chicken breast, chick thighs..etc. In fact, I don't think I even know how to cut open a whole watermelon.

It's not rocket science Quimby

Trump came into office with 3 percent inflation, mm-kay?

Nice try.

And it’s lower today!! Thanks Trump

...

Your anti-Hindu slurs are offensive.

Wow, you are helpless.

 

[MayorQuimby]

Wow, you are helpless.

I prefer the term "delicate".

Like the ad used to say, "What's for dinner?"

Not beef.

.

Beef prices have soared in the US — and not just during grilling season​

​

The average price of a pound of ground beef rose to $6.12 in June, up nearly 12% from a year ago, according to U.S. government data. The average price of all uncooked beef steaks rose 8% to $11.49 per pound.

.
President Donald Trump's tariffs have yet to have a major impact on beef prices but they could be another factor that drives prices higher because the U.S. imports more than 4 million pounds of beef every year.

Much of what is imported is lean beef trimmings that meatpackers mix with fattier beef produced in the U.S. to produce the varieties of ground beef that domestic consumers want. Much of that lean beef comes from Australia and New Zealand that have only seen a 10% tariff, but some of it comes from Brazil where Trump has threatened tariffs as high as 50%.

If the tariffs remain in place long-term, meat processors will have to pay higher prices on imported lean beef. It wouldn't be easy for U.S. producers to replace because the country's system is geared toward producing fattier beef known for marbled steaks.

Prices will likely stay high​

Trump was relentless toward Biden about grocery prices.

Fox "News" was on board with this propaganda: Prices of eggs, milk, steak up since Biden took office

Trump's supporters didn't want to hear anything about the bird flu. They put egg prices all on Biden.

So no excuses for Trump and the price of steak, mm-kay?

Karma is a *****.

They put the egg prices on biden because he killed like millions of chickens

 

[drudge X]

I'm saying you just made that number up on the spot.

So gas prices never crossed $6 a gallon under Biden.

[drudge X]

Never even got close to that nationally and you know it.

Have some integrity for once. First, you said it was a made up number. Prove provided and now you're moving the goal post.

 

[jknowgood]

Are you anti-Hindu?

I'm for eating steak, but the loons cannot make up their minds. To begin with, cows are bad. They fart and ruin the environment. Too now, I can't afford beef! Which is it? Can you tell me?

The beef cattle population as of Jan 1 2025 was down two percent from the previous year, thanks xiden

It is a made up number, you picked local crap in a nations discussion.


You lied.

You got called on it.

Just own it and move on, kid.

Ok, I don't know much about economics, but: don't companies constantly outsource stuff to overseas? For example, a manufacturer of running shoes might ship materials to a third-world country, hire workers there to make the shoes, and then ship them back to sell in the domestic market. This must be cheaper and they must be making a profit because otherwise they wouldn't be doing it. Therefore, when you import stuff from abroad, it's quite likely to be cheaper then when it is produced domestically. So why shouldn't this apply to imported beef? Labor is cheap in non-Western countries (although I know that some beef actually comes from Australia), and I know that they don't give a shit about animal welfare and abuse the crap out of their cows, so they must be able keep everything very, very cheap. So shouldn't their beef be cheap?

Trying to delve into this is a bit daunting to understand much less explain with any definitive answer(s).

But the short answer is one reason for domestic beef to be cheaper is that the government subsidizes the agricultural industry including meat & dairy as well as crops in order to stabilize the markets.

The US is the largest producer, importer and consumer of beef, and the 3rd largest exporter in the world.

May sound odd, but this link can explain it better as to why

One thing to note is that in the US the big ag corporations such as Cargill (and others as well) have operations in many of the countries we import beef from. But the US consumes more beef than we can produce, either stateside or abroad so additional is imported as well.

Thank you for explaining, sir.
