Food Shortage & Price Explosion Thread

[Joe King]

Can you produce any verification of this? Particularly commodity to commodity via the US and other countries

There have been plenty posted in response to your "omg! The sky is falling because of tariffs!" posts.

Just look at cars for a good example. Japan, Europe, Canada, and many other nations tariff our cars at 25% or higher, and have done so for decades.

I've asked countless times why tariffs are ok for other nations but not ours. You've even responded with a c&p AI answer stating other nations do so to protect THEIR industries.
Apparently you don't seem to think it ok to protect our own industries.

All most seem to care about is that they get the cheapest price possible, even if it means at the cost of continuing to ship our jobs overseas.

Where do you stand? Is it ok to protect our stuff too? Or is that only for other nations?

 

[Joe King]

Trump is not, repeat NOT, acting in the interests of the general public

The general public does in fact want lower beef prices, and what he did is a way of helping consumers get cheaper beef.

You're perception of my tariff posts are amusing. I can't do anything about the tariffs except to watch what I buy. As for the sky is fall stuff it's not me talking. It's the actual author(s) of the actual material.

I'm in the sweet land of vindication.

No clue if you actually understand what you posted. Here's some history of offshoring. Started way before T made the scene.

Had to do with corporate greed and our government allowing it to happen.

I'm for a tit for tat scenario where everything is equal as to trade tariffs but that'll probably never happen.

And the way T is going about things is not good for the US. He's playing with tariffs like they are a toy. He uses them to try to bully other countries into bowing to him. He should leave things to people with actual business / diplomatic experience and stop trying to insert himself in every aspect of the government and our public and private lives.

Yes, offshoring been happening for a long time. Trump is trying to do something about it.

It has more to do with our inflationary monetary system squeezing mfg'ers and the gov allowing it (offshoring) in order help them be able to stay in business.

Getting rid of the inflationary monetary system would've fixed it too, but the quick and easy "solution" is to let 'em use cheaper production off shore.
.....and that works, for awhile.

I'm for a tit for tat scenario where everything is equal as to trade tariffs but that'll probably never happen.

Then you should have supported Trump's reciprocal tariffs from day one.

He's using them as a bargaining tool in trade negotiations.

For example, that's why he said he's GOING to raise tariffs by 50% on Canada at the first of the year.

Ie: he's hoping the threat of them will garner our nation a better spot at the negotiating table.

Tariffs are a tool.

He should leave things to people with actual business / diplomatic experience and stop trying to insert himself in every aspect of the government and our public and private lives.

Well that's congress's fault for Enacting the laws that allow a POTUS to do what he is doing.

Stupid Congress strikes again!

They, or some of them, wanted cheap tevees, too.

So the Globalists got them some. And that it cost the entire electronic industry, in the end...tens of thousands of jobs, from design to assembly to warehousing to PROFIT$$$ (which is now split with the CCP)...turns out that's not such a great deal.

Now. We destroy the entire beef industry, and then our dollar goes smash. IF we had significant beef production, life would go on - as it has with dozens of boom-and-bust cycles. But with no domestic food and our conjured-up fiat no longer desired...what do we eat? Grubs? Shit? Our dogs?

And in any case, the price rises are NOT NATURAL. They're engineered by fake animal-disease scares (screwworm or hoof-and-mouth) or even deliberately infecting. AND punitive land-use regulations. AND...eager non-American and Vulture Capital buyers for defaulted land.

They call this "Manufactured Consent" for this latest Offshoring and Industry Destruction.

Those are not fake.

Only reason screw worms are back is because we eased up on fighting them, and they've made their way back.*

Hoof and mouth disease is real too.


*We used to breed and release millions of sterile males, and that kept them from having viable offspring.

The panic is fake.

And the reason they're on the rise is NOT mysterious forces, but GATES MONEY to MAKE IT MORE COMMUNICABLE.

I'll agree with you on this 100%.

From the horse mouth

 

[Joe King]

From the horse mouth

He has a point though. If our own side is undermining his efforts, how is that helping America?

When we have so many screaming for an end to only our tariffs, that plays right into the other nations hands.

In spite of that, there's been some progress.

Joe, here ya go

Key Trade Deals and Frameworks in 2026​

In 2026, U.S. trade policy is defined by a mix of bilateral agreements, tariff adjustments, and strategic frameworks aimed at reshaping global trade relationships.

Major Bilateral and Multilateral Agreements​

• EU–U.S. Trade Deal (July 2025, in force July 2026) – A landmark agreement that caps U.S. tariffs on most EU exports at 15%, eliminates tariffs on U.S. industrial goods, and improves market access for certain...

Program will send beef from local ranchers to food banks

A new state program will send about $2 million to at least 40 ranchers and farmers while supplying local food banks across New Mexico.

What farmers think about Trump letting them process their own beef

Aug 31, 2026 #MorningInAmerica
Customers have not yet seen a drop in beef prices at the meat counter since President Donald Trump announced a plan to import discounted beef. Amid scrutiny, Trump has also floated allowing farmers to process their own beef to increase transparency and dodge large meat production corporations. National Black Farmers Association Founder John Boyd Jr. joins "Morning in America" to explain while many farmers would be happy to have more independence, they lack the facilities for safe meat processing.

Farmers processing beef is like ranchers harvesting corn.

 

[Fatrat]

My grandfather was a farmer, but he always raised a few head of cattle, some times cattle are cross bred and the rancher doesn't want to bother raising it. Livestock auction sells cheap.

Put tariffs on, the TDS'ers bitch and moan, take 'em off and they bitch and moan some more.

It says right in the vid that this is being done by eliminating tariffs on the beef.

All we've heard though, is how terrible the tariffs are.
....but now the lack of them is suddenly a problem?

This is nothing more than proof that TDS'ers will always be against anything Trump does.
Ie:. Logic need not apply to their reasoning.

Well, they have their agenda - which right now is to pave the way for the Glorious Utopia of Dumbo-Crackhead Socialism, uh, Communism...but they are right.

Food prices are gonna explode.

And it's not a bug; it's a feature. They WORKED for this.

And it seems to be working.

Remember who benefits from Marxism. Lenin and his gang were all the sons of rich men, and university students. There will be a deep paring of the Elite ranks, once the neo-Marxists take control...but every one of them thinks he'll be part of the Inner Circle.

Have you experienced that personally? Or has someone you know irl?

I've been reading this stuff, but hadn't encountered it so far myself.

Worst I've seen is prices different in the computer than on the shelf a few times.

 

[Fatrat]

Checked some small hams, realized they were under weight. I shop meats elsewhere now. WalMart doesn't have butchers so this is done by suppliers.

You should let the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) know about that. Document it, and show them.
