Wow! Didn’t see that coming.
BTW, I think BG & DS are engineering a lot of the shortages we’ve been seeing. I think some shortages are real, but some completely fake.
Coming right up : beef shortage. Look at all the meat substitutes they’ve been pushing for the last couple of years and now all the talk (from President * and others) about reducing our meat consumption. They are trying to “normalize” this. IMO.
When they can't get a Big Mac, heads will roll.
Bump for reference.
They forgot QuantumScape Symbol QS....
Mostly agree. But I think the DS plan might call for the gradual introduction of fillers in burgers until the “burgers” are 100% filler and no meat. Kind of the boiling frog approach.
Sure hope this lunacy ends before then.
Well, I’m buying whatever meat is on sale every week and canning about 8 lbs. per batch. Plenty of beans and rice to help stretch the meals.
No Gate’s Frakenmeat for us!
Wonder why they sold Apple, Amazon, and Alphabet recently. Has he developed a newfound hatred for the letter A or something? 😂
That’s how they’ve been doing everything to us for the last 40 years. Frog in the pot of water.
