The president prefaced his remarks by reassuring his audience, "I am a capitalist." But he argued that the hunger for profit had to be tempered by competition: "Capitalism without competition is exploitation, it drives up profits — without competition is exploitation." This, he seemed to say, was the state of an industry dominated by meat giants: "Small businesses and family farmers and ranchers — I need not tell some of my Republican friends in those states. You have four basic meatpacking facilities. That is it. You play with them or you don't get the play at all and you pay a helluva lot more." His comments cut like a steak knife through bull. And it's not the first time 46th POTUS has picked a verbal bullfight with meat processors.

Joe tells meat packers they are giving America a raw deal. Says they have cut out competition.
Right now they are couching it, but they want to destroy the beef industry.
The big Vegan movement is coming from the same groups pushing global warming, BLM, CRT, and transgender benders.
At least that’s my take on it.
well Done!
Ashes for Ash Wednesday. It is traditional for many Christians to have the sign of the cross marked on their foreheads for this holy day.
Makes sense, eliminate fuels, meats, guns, it’s all in their plan.
Weren’t these meat packing employees called essential workers and worked day and night to ensure our food industry didn’t go tits up during the early China flu days? Now they’re greedy bastards?
High meat prices are just fine with the leftists. They want it so expensive nobody can afford to eat it. We are supposed to eat soylent instead because of global warming. But they cannot seen as causing it. So they blame Big Meat.
Same thing with gas prices. They are just fine with it going through the roof and blame it on Putin. They will never lift a finger to bring it down.
I cannot escape the conclusion that all of this, covid, Putin, inflation, CRT is part of the plan, and I have to wonder what is coming next.
Now, there is only one and it is owned by a big conglomerate for the reasons that you mentioned.
And interrupt pudding time? Surely you jest!
I have a little experience in this. A good friend owns a small ranch. Has about 90-100 head of angus cattle. I help him with projects and keep his books. He has the meat processed locally at two different family-run slaughterhouses in Western PA.
One slaughterhouse owner said he wanted to move to a larger site about 5 years ago. Said the cost of regulation, certification, and compliance made it difficult at the time. Now after Gov't Covid lockdowns, although business is booming, he said its really impossible - they can't find the labor (local, not migrants) and land prices have gone through the roof. His processing schedule is booked a year in advance.
If the sock-puppet Biden wants a cause of high meat costs - - he should blame Fed.gov
We have slaughterhouses in most rural areas-they dispatch and process livestock for local ranchers/farmers as well as process and package game for hunters-most have meat markets attached where you can buy all types of grass fed, free range meat-even quail-there are two places less than 25- 30 miles of where I am-one has an entire small grocery store attached-everything is organic, fresh, non GMO...
That idiot Biden has no idea what he is talking about with his four meatpacking facilities crap-he has likely never been inside a meat market/grocery store-and the only cows he’s seen were in pastures when he was looking out the window of his limo as it was driving down the road to some ice cream shop...
said the old fool not smart enough to understand the business model of a lemonade stand...
Of course he know one-and she’s even a woman-so he’s going to nominate her for the supreme court-because he promised his handlers a Black woman...
I rarely get a ping.
He stole that line from Castro on the Ed Sullivan Show.
“Capitalism without competition is exploitation, it drives up profits — without competition is exploitation.”
Tell that to the big tech companies.

BTTT
I fail to see how meatpacking plants caused the price of the gasoline I use to go up 50%. It’s actually higher than that in the last week.
Yes, and most got covid due to their working conditions
