    Sounds like donnie the dotard is trying to do some short-term “fix” for a problem of his own creation, shortly before the election.

    Wonder what happens after Nov 3?

        While US beef production is geared towards steaks and ground chuck, most other countries focus on growing lean beef.

        The almost certainly low quality meat being imported (countries aren’t going to export their good stuff to Donnie), likely isn’t even going to end up in your local grocery stores as steaks or ground beef. It will be used in other areas of industry with massive orders. Think filler for frozen dinner meatballs, etc. where the raw quality isn’t a priority. Where the lower quality stuff already goes.

          Which also means that this won’t actually affect customer prices in the slightest. Those companies will just pocket the 25% discount on their input costs.

    It’s not about being cheaper. It’s about culling the poor. They are allowing for cruel and unnecessary deaths so they can pinch some pennies.

    The price is going to exponentially increase over time regardless of what Trump’s little circus today does because factory farming is unsustainable. I wish people would stop supporting wide scale animal abuse along with the rampant ecological disasters, pollution and climate change that come from this.
