The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

“It’s such an old-fashioned term but a beautiful term: groceries. It sort of says a bag with different things in it."

And those different things just keep getting more and more expensive despite Mad King Donald's promise to bring their prices down on day-one in office.

Beef prices in the U.S. continue to hit record highs, yet demand for the popular summer grilling staple remains strong — prompting shoppers, farmers and restaurants to adapt.

A pound of ground beef cost $6.67 just before the Fourth of July weekend, according to the American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF), marking the highest price for beef ever recorded by the group.

It was up nearly 70 cents from May, when the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported it skyrocketed 16% from a year earlier and nearly 50% from five years ago.


Must be Biden's fault.

Or OBama's.

Or Hillary's.

And here's the kicker: Brazil's beef exports to the United States more than doubled in the first five months of 2025 (and would become economically unviable with Mad King Donald's 50% tariff on Brazil).

Not to mention we have a trade surplus with Brazil.
