Dear leader promised to lower grocery prices on day one so they must be low, right? Don’t believe your eyes, just believe in the plan they say.
We’re all going to be soo rich once the billionaires get theirs.
Let’s face it, as long as immigrants are scared of white men and women can’t leave kitchen without permission MAGA will be fine with pretty much anything. They see it as a price worth paying for the feeling of being respected again.
Retail beef prices are soaring, but I can tell you from the other end, auction sale prices of market weight steers sure as fuck hasn’t gone up that much.
Lot of squeezing happening in the middle somewhere. Curious, that one.
I dont want to sound condescending but this is pretty simple economics.
If you tax imports then vendors of local products will increase prices to match the imported goods.
The market for local beef is an oligopoly with only a few buyers, so it’s easy for them to manipulate the price.

That’s an oligopsony, not an oligopoly which would have only a few sellers.
Must be low prices in the west due to farmers being forced to sell and the buyers know it. In the East beef prices are jaw dropping high.
We noticed this when we went to a Texas Roadhouse. Their restaurant prices for steaks hadn’t gone up hardly at all and seemed very surprisingly reasonable, whole beef at the grocer is painful.
It’s been that way for a while. If there is no sale I can get a restaurant steak cheaper than the store.
And suddenly MAGA was vegan because it’s “patriotic” or something…
People will just switch to chicken, pork, or add “meat free Friday” to their menus. Consumers are fed up at this point and aren’t going to pay some of these prices.
