That is short term. Long term we are screwed. Fix the problems in our elections and this problem goes away.

Good chance two years of those stupid buttfricks trying to take the spotlight in DC will turn more people back to the right in the 2028 elections.

That chick became America's sweetheart as soon as the pics dropped

It was the wreck. The actual firing came later but that wreck forced the University to make the kind of decision that we always get wrong. Bobby would have accepted any punishment to remain our coach, but like always we made the wrong choice.

This just put me squarely on LSU's side

If the cattlemen will calculate an affordable rate for their products that allows to make a living but not put their customers in the poor house. If they just mimic or charge same pricing as the 4 big processors; no difference will be seen. We have a few locals processing their own beef, but the prices are just as high or higher! We still try to by from locals for certain cuts, but not all.

What in the actual goddamn frick? What is the "affordable" rate that independent producers should charge? Specifically, after calculating the cost of buying the land, buying the cows and bull, of feeding them, of finishing them, and processing, packaging, and shipping.... what the frick is "affordable" supposed to mean? You're talking to a group that ate shite for decades with minimal support on the downside, who now gets to watch their own government bet against them on the upside, and you want them to just "calculate an affordable rate"?

This board is trying so hard to suck the shite out of Trump's arse on EVERY. SINGLE. TOPIC. Y'all all some homos.

The spike in beef prices are directly related to the years of allowed collusion between the big4 packers, depressing fat cattle prices. You stack a multi year drought on almost a decade of depressed cattle prices and you get massive herd dispersal and ranchers getting out leading to lowest herd numbers in around 60 years. Then add inflation and the new world screw worm returning to the US via MX for the first time since the 40s and guess what. Beef prices went up.

Roughly 85% market control by the big four. It used to be that the CR4 four-firm concentration ratio would have regulators looking for signs of a growing monopoly when that number crossed 40%, and seriously expecting to find it when that went over 60%. Same with the HHI index - even back in 1996 it was over 2,200... when the USDA regards markets above 1,800 "to be highly
concentrated." Government has known and government has just chosen not to care for the last 30 years.

But sure people are going to watch ranchers eat shite and struggle for 20+ years and then blame them for finally making a little money so they can suck off their Orange god. It's dumb behavior, and I supported the guy.

OP could be wearing a Longhorn shirt, doing the Aggie yell squad cheers, and trying to shove a cowbell up his arse while simultaneously whistling....

Still wouldn't be as gay as that post.

Pigs.

We run-ruled OU yesterday, which means today we get one hit in a 4-run loss. I don't make the rules, I simply observe nature.

The boomers laid hands on him for another prayer circle yet? The GOP deserves a loss if they want to keep pushing this dude.

Danged ol Mizzou gave us backshots today wtf
