America’s beef with the price of beef may hurt Trump and the Republicans. From Jeffrey Tucker at The Epoch Times via theburningplatform.com:
You have doubtless seen the price of beef at the store. It is shocking, outrageous really, ticking up higher and higher each week. When all this began four years ago, many people assumed that prices would settle back down after the crisis ended. That has not happened. The problem is getting worse, not better.
Checking in on the CPI for ground beef, we were shocked to see double-digit rates of inflation. The price of beef steaks in five years has gone up fully 50 percent and keeps rising.
Right now, the beef inflation rate is running at an astonishing 12.4 percent.
The price of ground beef has fully doubled in 10 years.
This isn’t just government data. Industry sources are showing beef prices running far ahead of other groceries.
This is happening just as more science is showing how essential beef is for human health. It is not the only good meat but it contains the most of what we need for health, weight control, energy, building muscle, and organ strength. There is growing market demand for everything from ground beef to steaks.
A roast is now $20.
Meat at every meal is a feature to me but there had to be a cut back.
Comrades with no protein are more easily gaslit?
I fart in their face.
