Mr. Ed told me the end was neigh.
Paid almost sixteen dollars for two pounds of stew beef yesterday. I will split the amount into six baggies and freeze five. A round roast for cutting up to stew beef chunks runs sixteen plus, but It only yields the same as the chunks I purchased.
I had a Quarter Pounder w Cheese and Bacon the other day. It was almost EIGHT dollars! I could not believe it. I’m doing a lot more home prep and cooking now.
After 40 years of stable prices, I thought my retirement would be in the same financial environment. Count on the GD government to royally eff everything up. Bastards.
It’s up to 20 food processing plants down now. Most were arson.
Arson?? Not accidental??
That’s mighty Royale with Cheese prices.
Someone told me today that he heard that on a conservative talk show and the caller was specific. He also said the caller mentioned the big fire near Scottsdale, AZ was arson.
I’m a bit skeptical about arson/on purpose, but those plants are out of commission.
Yeah, I retired in July 2020. Not really well-off, but not totally impoverished either. Rethinking things now. About the only good thing was getting a reasonable-rate mortgage in October 2019, though now I wish we had refinanced last year.
Oh well, I’ve been broke before, though it was more fun when I was young.
A new form of terrorism.
We re-fi’d Jan 2021 at 2.5%. We actually hit the lowest rate!
I’m not skeptical any more.
Too many recently.
That is beyond accidental.
Lots of food processing plants ... too many in a short period of time...
Which town are you in? I was raised in Belmont. At the time, the worst high school in the nation, so bad that they made a movie about it: Dangerous Minds with Michelle Pfeiffer.

Good for you - paying off your home’s gonna be a lot easier...
12 confirmed, in the last several weeks, according to Jason Rantz, on Tucker's show, tonight....several are major processing plants...(vid, at link)
Why are so many food processing plants and warehouses catching fire all of a sudden? And as I was sitting in the studio getting ready for the report... a plane crashed at a General Mills food facility in Georgia. I discussed the issue on Tucker Carlson Tonight. pic.twitter.com/QWJ3b6j65d— Jason Rantz on KTTH Radio (@jasonrantz) April 22, 2022
“The flood across the border will turn into a tsunami as they starve in Central and South America.”
Or ... the migration may start going the other way. There are lots of low-maintenance fruit trees in Central America. They still use a lot of oxen teams for plowing. They use lots of natural fertilizers. The large corn fields and cane fields get plenty of petro-based fertilizers but the first year without those will lower the yield but the harvest would still be substantial. They already ignore the protections on such things as sea turtle eggs and more harvesting prohibitions and/or limits would be ignored if things got tough.
Good point.
Chinese owned food processing plants in North Dekota were among the first hit with high numbers of COVID deaths when the pandemic started too...
