It’s ok. My coworker couldn’t make it make sense to me either. He also won’t sell me cow. I’ve asked. Every now and then I see half cows for sale, but the price is hardly better per lb than store bought and I would still have to break down the half myself which takes time I’m disinclined to spend without significant savings beforehand.
Comment on Trump scraps tariffs on beef, coffee and tropical fruit in a push to lower grocery store prices
JoMiran@lemmy.ml 17 hours agoMaybe domestic beef is primarily high grade and the bulk of the beef American households consume is cheap ground beef. If so, then we might export the good stuff for profit and import the shit for pennies.
That’s just a thought. I don’t follow the beef industry.

This is the case for most of US exports. There’s a unique situation where we have the infrastructure/capital to produce some actually good stuff, but at the same time American consumers have no standards. The good stuff gets sent abroad to discerning markets and we import cheap slop to sell here

We can’t afford standards.
