They have been saying this for over a year yet packer profits keep climbing. As long as the big guy gets his cut, nothing will happen.

I was being lazy and wanted some meat for a post workout stir fry nothing was under 8 dollars a pound for the cheapest of the cheap cuts of anything. Only thing decent were the hams for 97 cents a pound, that were three times that costs a week ago. |

Sounds like Biden's "Meat Beating" plan is to hand out pork:
- $375 million in "gap" financing to jumpstart meat processing projects that "truly expand capacity outside the largest meat and poultry processors." The agriculture department will provide $150 million in its first phase for roughly 15 projects, and another $225 million in the second phase. - Up to $275 million in capital for banks to provide loans and other financing with favorable terms for independent processors investing in cold storage, specialized equipment and other needs. - $100 million to provide loan guarantees for more than $1 billion in loans. - $100 million to train workers for well-paying, safe jobs. - $50 million to provide technical assistance and research that will lower barriers for entrepreneurs, independent companies and others looking to add meatpacking processing. The effort will help businesses better understand environmental, food safety and worker safety requirements. - $100 million to reduce overtime and holiday inspection costs for small and very small poultry, meat and egg processing plants keep up with unprecedented demand. The initiative is expected to cut fees 30% to 75%. |

Government intervention is a bad idea more times than not. With a Biden government it's not going to go well.
There is a problem with the meat packers monopoly but the solution is not government intervention. Personally I think the only sustainable solution is farmers/ranchers having co-op packing plants. It's a huge investment but would help packaged meat coincide with true market conditions and would help the ranchers get market value for their product |

I can only assume biden’s influence on meat prices is the same as it is on oil prices.
I was led to believe Biden didn’t control prices or have any impact on rising prices. Even if his EOs and policies are hostile to an industry, that has absolutely nothing to do with that industry’s rising prices. See what a beef pot roast is going for now, and check in a year. Pretty safe Bet this will be a waste of money and prices will be higher in a year. |

So democrats created a situation where nobody wanted to work. Meat packers couldn't keep employees and had to offer incentives while at the same time had to cut production to maintain an illusion of keeping employees safe. Cost of transportation went through the roof employee wages went through the roof, and we wonder why beef prices went up.
Senior maintenance mechanics at the plant closest to me makes $30 an hour, and they can get up to 60 hours a week. |

Biden is a moron.
Shut down a pipeline, force us to yet again be dependent on foreign governments for fuel. Cost of fuel, oil, grease. As well as styrofoam, plastics, fertilizer and herbicides to sky rocket. Also destroyed the economy causing massive inflation and shortages. Guess what fuckO? If my fuel, oil and greast costs have doubled. The operating cost of my equipment has doubled...... it cost twice as much for me to make hay. Not even counting managing my fields. If it cost double to feed my animals, double in fuel tobtruck them and double for packaging. Someone has to pay for that. I have people 4-5 hours away I haven't talked to for years begging for hay I don't have to sell. Offering me triple for a load I don't have. Why don't I have an extra 1,000 bales this year? Oh because covid supply shortage bullshit. Tractor down for 2 weeks waiting on and $8 part... get fucked. Baling twine unobtanium... get fucked. Oh you need new knives for the hay mower?... get fucked. How about that ag tire that took 6 weeks to get.... get fucked. Thankfully we have plenty of hay for our own animals. |

Biden has had 47+ years of public service as a Democrat to finely hone the number one job requirement for ANY Democrat. Nothing is ever his fault. He is just a victim of circumstances, an economy out to get him, monopolist corporations, run-away inflation, etc. But, that is what Democrats do best - project problems that they create onto others and then propose "solutions" for the problems that they created in the first place.
