The only thing that has gotten worse in Trump's second term is the democrat's behavior...

#14 | POSTED BY CLOWNSHACK AT 2025-05-12 05:05 PM | FLAG: | NEWSWORTHY 1: Foolish Clown-like response so go back to remedial Supply and Demand class. The recent demand has not decreased, rather currently our cattle herds are as small as they were decades ago.

FYI: "The US cattle herd is currently at a historic low, with the total number of cattle and calves estimated at 86.7 million head on January 1, 2025. This marks the sixth consecutive year of contraction for the national cattle herd. The number of beef cows has declined to 27.9 million head, representing a 1% decrease from the previous year."

Again, I am not surprised that a libbie like you, with little to no Economics acumen, cannot comprehend a simple example of Supply vs Demand

Maybe Trump firing 400 FAA workers wasn't the brightest idea.

REF the equipment/facilities: "Its antiquated facilities and equipment and software," Guzzetti said. Many facilities still rely on floppy disks and copper wire. He said: "It's all coming to a head now in New York and Newark."

Trump has absolutely nothing to do with the price of been - hwere is thee reality:

Had any of you ever taken business classes you would be aware of what is referred to as to Supply and demand:
"Supply and demand are fundamental economic concepts describing the relationship between the availability of goods or services and consumers' desire for them. Supply refers to the amount of goods or services producers are willing to offer at various prices, while demand refers to the amount consumers are willing to purchase at those prices."

FYI: Beef prices are high due to a combination of factors impacting both supply and demand within the cattle and beef industry.
1. Reduced Cattle Supply:
Drought: Persistent drought conditions in key cattle-producing regions have led to reduced pasture quality and higher feed costs, causing ranchers to decrease herd sizes.
Herd Liquidation: Years of drought and high feed costs have forced ranchers to sell off cattle, reducing the overall breeding stock and leading to a smaller calf crop.
Cattle Cycle: The natural cattle cycle involves periods of herd expansion and contraction, and the industry is currently experiencing a period of contraction, according to the Economic Research Service (ERS).
2. Rising Production Costs:
Feed Costs: The price of feed grains like corn and soybeans, which are crucial for cattle feed, has increased due to factors like drought and global demand, impacting the cost of raising cattle.
Input Costs: Overall production costs, including labor, energy, and transportation, have also increased, adding to the financial burden on ranchers and processors.
3. Strong Consumer Demand:
Consistent Demand: Despite higher prices, consumer demand for beef remains strong, especially for premium cuts, keeping prices elevated.
Grilling Season: Demand typically increases during grilling season, further supporting higher prices.
4. Trade Dynamics:
Tariffs: New tariffs on imported beef from certain countries can increase the cost of imported beef, potentially impacting domestic prices, according to NerdWallet.
Exports: Changes in export markets and trade policies can also influence beef availability and prices in the US.
In summary, a combination of a smaller cattle herd, higher production costs, strong consumer demand, and trade factors have contributed to elevated beef prices.

FYI:April 27, 1994
Three decades ago, on April 27, 1994, after centuries of white rule, Black South Africans voted in general elections for the first time. This marked the official end of apartheid rule, cemented days later when Nelson Mandela was sworn in as the country's first Black president.

Maybe you should educate yourself before making assumptions. The Afrikaners, and Anglophones are fleeing from there because not safe for them nowadays.

Most libbies here never were incapable of realizing those high tariffs on China were just a negotiation tool - more the fools you be.

'Most'? As usual, a slanted poll to elicit negative press againe the administration. the again, the liberal dems her fall for just about any fake news as long as it is against Trump , and as usual none of you will comment later once learn that it was all BS - typical.

The tariffs are not 'set in stone' yet as this is the negotiation phase.

If any here have seen the original, you'd realize that the reboot is a mere pathetic shadow of the hilarity of the original.

FYI: A unknown, at the time,] Michael J. Fox was on the first season of the original series.

"Michael J. Fox appeared in the Night Court episode "Santa Goes Downtown" in 1984, playing the role of Eddie Simms, a teenager. The episode aired on December 20, 1984".

'Some' is such a vague word...hwo about we use the words 'very few'...

Just more dem fear-mongering.

At this point I couldn't care less as let the loser of society kill themselves off.

Tuens out the new Pope is a conservative so the libs can go back to hating the Catholic Church again.

THEY all signed a fiscal contract and by law are required to pay. It is not for we taxpayers to pay for their debts.

Let's see... Oh, departed RVN in 71, PCS to NSA, Ft Meade MD.

Illegal labor, the one class of people the dems care not that they do not even get minimum wage.

Hopefully a nonsocialist.

I see no problem as they are no taking about selling off national parks.

The U.S. federal government owns and manages roughly 640 million acres of land, which represents about 28% of the total land area in the country. Approximately 95% of this land is managed by four major federal agencies: the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), the Forest Service (FS), the Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), and the National Park Service (NPS).

Why does the federal government need 28% of our landmass?

FYI: "Over four years, the Biden administration protected more lands and waters"674 million acres"than any other president in history".

Only dems would be for a larger IRS, but the Again I suspect many of those seems have a low income where they do not have to pay federal income taxes, so no skin in the game.

Guess laws against murder didn't work....

$2.39/.49 here in LA.

Really.
Which organization of 500 people did you cut 50 workers from, with no impact on productivity?
It's so amazingly obvious when you lie.

Too many private companies, like govt over time end up with a bloated bureaucracy and if you follow business news you see when a company is 'on the ropes' fiscally, the structure down, eliminating positions and letting employees go to get lean and mean to be able to compete.
