OK then maybe it isn't Biden's fault. But it's Hillary's for sure.I was buying this for 3:99 regular price when Biden was president no f*ckin less than a few months ago!
And yet you don't hear a peep from the right about high prices but we heard it every day when Biden was president. Can we bring back biden's high prices, trump's are killing us. Just remember, high prices are good for America, says the gop.I was buying this for 3:99 regular price when Biden was president no f*ckin less than a few months ago!
You know it's gotta be eating at those baby producing Arschlochs when it cost them 50 bucks to feed their brood one beef stew dinner.And yet you don't hear a peep from the right about high prices but we heard it every day when Biden was president.

I did the calculations, works out the same if you make stew instead of goulashGoulash?
How about an “Amurican” dish?

Americans stopped eating mutton in the 19th century, along with Kidney PieSo far as I understand, there are about five things in play:
1) Regulations have driven beef into a corporate middleman model that has been inflating the price 30% for a long time now.
2) There has been a drought in the Great Plains drastically harming beef production
3) Screwflies, once contained at the Darien Gap in Panama, are now at the borders of the U.S., and Mexican beef is being blocked from entry.
4) The Brazilian rainforest is turning to savannah in the near future, and drought already has disrupted Brazilian beef production as people burn the rest down to be rewarded by 'amnesty' that makes it their own land
5) And the Brazilians are tariffed on behalf of Bolsonaro, the lead cheerleader for that.
While I'm very much not pleased with beef prices now, this seems like a better time to ask a different question:
Where's the mutton?
Sheep would have survived the Great Plains drought. There are various means under development to improve the usability of wool, like ozone treatment. If this were China, there would be a Five Year Plan to build reservoirs in the Great Plains, farm sheep, sell processed wool... instead, farm subsidies are handed out based on the political party and lobbying strength of the farmers. Wal-Mart shoppers are offered the opportunity to buy "fleece" made out of recycled soda bottles that, if worn for an hour in a slightly warm room, will make you smell like you've been moving furniture for the past three days. And you can only buy lamb, sealed in a plastic armor so you can't smell how off it got during its long slow trip from Australia.
We still like lamb.Americans stopped eating mutton in the 19th century, along with Kidney Pie![]()

Not trying to convert anyone or make light of the current prices, just offering an alternative

Thank you for the suggestion. I do have one question: If I have an argument with a vegetarian, is it still called a beef?Not trying to convert anyone or make light of the current prices, just offering an alternative

I have to laugh at that stupidity. Murican means most of us alive now came from the British trying to gain their own freedom from the British. After that america was a minestrone of people from all over the world. Every single group of people, the Chinese, the Irish, the Italians were all 'enemies' of white anglo Saxon Murica. Is fried chicken Murican?Goulash?

As long as you don't tofu around.Thank you for the suggestion. I do have one question: If I have an argument with a vegetarian, is it still called a beef?
When someone hands me a plate of that I say, Thanks for Mutton...I'm not that old. I remember I really liked it.
Am I understanding you correctly? You're blaming the weather and regulations for the high cost of beef?So far as I understand, there are about five things in play:
1) Regulations have driven beef into a corporate middleman model that has been inflating the price 30% for a long time now.
2) There has been a drought in the Great Plains drastically harming beef production
