More than 167,000 pounds of meat are being recalled across the United States after being produced without proper federal inspection, according to the United States Department of Agriculture.
Well it is and it isn’t. They have bought up all the packing plants creating a monopoly and an artificial constraint/bottle neck. So the billionaires set the prices which was already putting small ranchers out of business. Trump 2.0 has just exacerbated this process by making the inputs way more expensive.
It will never completely collapse. There will still be a demand for meat and now they can set whatever price they want because they control the entire supply.
Stop buying meat at all. Let the industry collapse. It’s probably the only way the US meat industry will adopt better standards
It would just get more subsidies than it already does.
Honestly I feel like that would just lead to Billionaires buying it up on pennies on the dollar and even worse outcomes.
Like isn’t that what Trump and Co are actively doing? Doesn’t JD have a company that is actively buying up ranching land?
This is news to me that the meat industry isn’t already owned by billionaires.

And do what with it…? If it collapses like that, they have a worthless property.
