Could it be price fixing?

Yes, especially if you count burning down poultry farms and cattle barns,
and infecting poultry with diseases. Yes, that's price fixing.

Tyson foods, formerly big Clinton supporters. It’s their fault.

Don’t buy their products. That’s simple.

Could it also be the fires that have occurred in poultry and beef plants?

Tyler Chicken is much better. George Costanza is a hen supervisor there.

I've started seeing sale prices of store brand boneless chicken breasts for $1.99/lb again, which was the sale price before the Chinese Death Plague.

I have to get things on sale now just to come close to the prices I paid under Trump.

Yes. JD Rockefeller was a notorious monopolist. He had tons of cash flow from his oil businesses. He would move into a new territory and try to buy out to competition. If they didn’t agree he would sell at a loss until he drove the local independent producers out of business. Of he would simply have their warehouses burned down. Allegedly.

At least that’s what I learned from my AP US History teacher. I doubt she was completely wrong. Ultimately Standard Oil had to be broken up later. Didn’t harm him or his family he still owned a big piece of all the new companies.

Beef is higher and has been for several years.

This sounds like MSM setting up for Kamala’s “Price Gouging” stuff. Getting the idea into people’s minds that “The government has to DO something about this!!!!”

I’m finding good prices on meats. It’s everything else that has doubled. Eggs are $4 this week...

And could be due to increase cost of fuel farmers and truckers now pay, increase in prices of fertilizer used to grow crops, increase in prices of animal and poultry food, and mandating $20/hr minimum wages

There are two or three companies controlling the processing plants. Tyson and a Brazilian company. They pushed the small guys out and they are the ones fixing the market. The farmers are not getting it. I don’t know anything about this agri company but knowing this DOJ I would bet they are innocent

From what I’ve seen, beef is the high-priced meat here. Some of it is absolutely outrageous, but I remember the last time I bought a ham & it was too.

I heard that Kenny Rogers Roasters is still operating in Indonesia.
