    Massive shortage of beef this year. I actually see this as a win for the US Consumer. I about fell over the last time I was at Costco and Ribeye’s where 160 bucks

    Another Betrayal.

    Fixed that for them.
    It’s not the first, it’s not the last.

    Talking of betrayal, whatever happened to the “stealing of top secret documents and putting them in an unlocked room next to a fax machine for no reason, and deffo no treasonous reasons, honest” court case(s)?

    You don’t get it: You’re supposed to be loyal to the King, whereas he owes you nothing in return. Now be quiet peons, or else… Well, it’s a nice farm you’ve got there. It’d be a shame if ICE happened to it.

    What? Now you don’t like fascism all of a sudden? Huh. How about that?

    Bankrupt the last remaining small ranches, then let your fascist buddies buy it up for cheap…

    Then when the pendulum swings, they make out like bandits reselling or even worse, just keep an iron grip on domestic food production.

    There’s a lot of shit going on that needs paid attention to, but the wealthy directly controlling the food supply is gonna be a lot worse than them directly controlling the housing or utility supply.

      This! Not just ranches. Farms as well.

      When the dust settles, they will own your flat and your food. 2 of the largest budget positions of most people.

      This is modern slavery at a large scale.

        It’s not slavery, and it is nowhere near the horrors of chattel slavery like what happened in America.

        It’s fucking horrible, don’t get me wrong.

        But it’s going to be a return to feudalism. That’s always been the goal of any group that accumulates insane levels of wealth. They want to own everything and we pay them for the privilege of living.

        The wealthy still get all the benefits, just none of the responsibility for us and don’t have to get their own hands dirty.

          Under feudalism serfs were bound to the lord and land from birth to death. There’s plenty different kinds of slavery

            “Bound”…

            My ancestors lived under a fuedal society immediately before immigrating to America.

            There was no daring escape for the guy who got out, he just got out.

            If he had stayed he would have been forced into joining a mercenary army for no pay where profits went to his King, but him (and many others) just fucked off instead.

            If you can just walk away from a system of oppression…

            I’m not saying it’s not a system of oppression, but I am saying it’s definitively not slavery.

                Jesus, really?

                In America there was a whole civil war over if the federal government would do slave raids into the North to capture anyone that wasn’t white and transport them to states where slavery was legal where they’d automatically become slaves.

                Why do you think a lot of escaped slaves didn’t stop till Canada?

                Really tho, I shouldn’t assume you knew that either.
