Psaki passed the blame onto “meat conglomerates” that are taking advantage of the pandemic to gouge consumers at the grocery aisle.

Weird. How come Big XXX always get greedy when incompetent Dems are in power? Strange.
It’s never the fault of Big Government or its bank known as the Federal Reserve for printing all that money.
But, then again, it’s either inflate or die.
What would she know about Big Meat?
Fill your freezer quick. We’ve not been able to afford steak since who knows when. Walmart has t-bones for $10.47/lb and HEB has them for $11.83.
