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.

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

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.

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...

“Meat and Poultry Is Wildly Expensive Now — and It Could Be Due to Price Fixing”

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

B period S period.

Unless you consider utilizing the law of supply-and-demand to set the price to be “price fixing.”

Just in time for price control justification. NO.

Chain grocery stores no longer have meat cutters or butchers as the meat managers. No cutting or wrapping. Everything comes in already packaged for display. You can't ask for two inch thick NY Strips, or a whole salmon, or a whole Chuck roast ground up. No haggling. No more whole prime rib. No more whole NY Strip. My Kroger threw away all the Hobart band saws, meat grinders, and such. I used to take all my kitchen knives twice a year for free sharpening. Not any more! The equipment is all gone.

What's the point in buying a 3/8" thick NY Strip? You can't even cook it properly.

Whole Foods and Fresh Market still cut meats. Unfortunately paying $18 a pound for a steak is insane. Whole Foods does have pork belly of very good quality at a fair price.

Except for bacon, pork has been cheaper than beef and most chicken here in northeast Oklahoma for at least three years. Beef is sky high.

Apparently the costs of labor, fuel, feed and fertilizer haven’t gone up in this industry.
It’s all price fixing.

We raise our own poultry and eggs and buy everything else locally. The price of name brand feed has gone up considerable but from the local mill it is still affordable.
