TPTB do not want commoners eating luxury beef. Climate Change, you know
More like we need to break up Tyson and JBS
However, the Trump quote does look and sound like Trump.
Perhaps, if we weren’t being forced to turn most of the country’s corn into worthless, engine killing ethanol, feed prices would be way down, resulting in cheaper meat?
Ethanol made from corn is killing us in more ways than one.
Drill, baby, drill!
*** My guess is Trump is paying Argentina big money to host US troops for the war he has brewing in South America. ***
Also, Argentina is the 2nd largest exporter of beef to China, after Brazil. So, Trump may be trying to interfere with that trade.
That was my understanding as well from what I had read on the issue in the past.
Still I have a problem with how quick Trump is to attack persons or groups that usually support him the minute they have concerns with his decisions.
Thank you! You have expressed my own thoughts better than I could have. Trump has a petulant child side that is not pretty.
Oh, what a dreadful thought. Not necessarily a wrong one just dreadful.
There are a lot of politics in this.
A large portion of Trump’s base is being hammered by high food prices, and not just beef prices. Regardless of Trump claiming there’s “no inflation”, or the reports from our own gov’t (which a former Obama official recently shredded - for all Administrations in the last few decades), food prices are insane. A lot of that is regs brought on by Obama and Biden, plus a few by Trump’s Administration during COVID. Then there is drought and falling water tables in much of Western USA, high labor costs, and so on.
Trump HAS to find QUICK ways to get food prices down, or the Pubbies (and him) are going to get toasted in the mid-terms. :-(
That’s the problem with you libertarians, you think the only threat to your country is a foreign army. No, that’s the last step, it starts with trade, propaganda, technology theft, and all other forms of asymmetrical warfare.
If it were as easy as cutting red tape the idiot rancher lobby would ask Trump to do so and I bet they wouldn’t get a whole lot of push back. Companies also use outside beef as a way of dealing with low cattle counts in the US. Trump has given the ranchers more work with tariffs but if they can’t figure out how to have competitive prices with a 50% head start then I don’t know what to tell them. Figure it out.
“That makes sense. Meanwhile, 77 cattle Ranchers go bust every day in the US.”
Honestly I see no other reason Argentina is a new best bud and why Trump would risk alienating US ranchers.
*** A large portion of Trump’s base is being hammered by high food prices, and not just beef prices. ***
I see a lot more people at the grocery store with those big 12 and 24 packs of ramen in their carts than with beef, and I’m pretty sure they’re not all on a Japanese cooking craze. And damn, even Ramen has gone up in price.
“It’s not just steak-—ground beef is sky high. The next pot of chili is going to be expensive”
Pick up a rifle and hit the woods.
Chili at this house almost never has beef in it. Wild boar, venison of a host of cervids(White tail,mule,red,axis,elk),moose , javelina, armadillo, alligator, rabbit, rattlesnake, nutria,wild turkey,emu(friends CenTex ranch),cabrito,mutton. If it walks, flies or slithers it has at one point been in the big cast iron dutch oven over mesquite coals bathed in hand ground in a basalt molcajete dried chilies from Mexico, New Mexico and my garden. Dried and smoked over pecan , or mesquite.
Top pick is always venison and boar in a 50/50 mix with manteca added for fat content.
This is the all time OG of chili and the founder of the Terlinguia chilli championship which is next month in Terlingua Texas the Model Y will be going this year again for FSD over the 10+ hour drive.

This is not a cook book it is the treatise on the subject by the master himself. If you pay attention it gives the method and proper ingredients.
