Members of Congress are being urged to investigate President Donald Trump’s plan to import hundreds of thousands of metric tons of foreign beef in a bid to lower grocery store costs, amid growing frustration from farm-state lawmakers and the nation’s embattled ranchers at the proposal.
Under the plan, the administration would allow up to 300,000 metric tons of lean beef trimmings into the U.S. tariff-free from a still-unspecified source country for a 90-day period beginning September 1—which Trump said would then be sold “at 25 percent below current market prices."
“Congress needs to have an emergency hearing on this,” John Boyd, founder and president of the National Black Farmers Association, said in response to the proposal, which the president said would “reduce prices for Americans while giving space for our Great American Beef Herd to grow again.”

Apologies to Soft Cell
Idiots
Lol.
I hope these welfare queens are hurting bad. I hope it destroys them. To be honest, I’m not sure I trust the food I eat coming from such simpletons.
Carnists in a crab bucket - desperately fighting to preserve their disgusting privilege while destroying the planet. It’s fundamentally unsustainable which is why the pedoprez is pulling this wacky move.
Carnism <–> Fascism. It’s blatant and overwhelming from a veg perspective.
See also Jordan Peterson’s and RFK’s meat diet lmao.
Are you claiming we evolved to be fascist?

From my perspective, good luck trying to defeat actual fascists while putting regular folks in the enemy bucket. You have very few allies, don’t throw them under the bus.
They’re expecting Congress to do something?
Leopards ate my beef.
Its ok, they’ll magically forget when Trump’s socialist “look the other way” bailout bribe comes in before the midterms.

Hey, he renamed a lake for you, what you complaining about?
Ungrateful ranchers!
Yeah, Farmers thought they were included in Trump’s America but they forgot to leave their
bribedonation at the door.Did these dumb fucks really think trump cared about them?
Did these dumb fucks really think
No.
Fair point
Yes.
The best part is that it’s not going to hurt those farmers at all. What it will affect is the quality of beef for the average consumer, since they’re probably getting much lower grade or even rejected meat other countries don’t want. So still getting faces eaten, but it’s not the farmers. If you want an example of very thorough welfare, look at agriculture. Yet they’re the loudest shouting.
How is it not going to hurt those farmers? Is there too much demand?
For one, there’s more than hamburger demand which is what this import is about. Higher grade cuts which from what I understand is what a large part of US beef is used for. But really second is the safety nets for all agriculture from the government. They can fail totally (which again, they won’t) and they’ll get welfare help. Like the rest of the public should be getting, but apparently
would take away from the wealthy and the warhawksis too costly.
It’s full of an ugly chemical.
It’s okay, the FDA will protect us from… no? They won’t? Well great.
I forgot where I read it, but it’s tainted beef not even China or Argentina wants. Literally the food poisoning administration.
Uk still filtering out mad cow disease? Might as well add more air to american brains.
Seems like they got beef.
The great Beef Beef,
