Preparing To Euthanize American Livestock, While Importing Beef From Namibia

How many times in the last three months have I heard various people say, “Does this make any sense?” If I had a nickel for every time, I’d be a rich man.
And yet … the sheeple go right along to the slaughter, unaware of the danger.
Thought provoking perspective here:

Didn’t watch the vid, will have to circle back but WSJ headline this AM that Trump will order US meat processing plants to operate.
If it’s cheaper to import and sell Namibian beef in Houston than in Texas itself, then that is a production and supply problem, not a glorious aspect of the free market. I lost all patience with Libertarianism when its adherents tried to tell me otherwise.
Shad, Covid did NOT do this. The government, and specifically Donald J. Trump shut down the US economy. I will NEVER accept that the virus is the cause of the arriving economic depression, ever. Your governments did that to you!!!
FWIW- The market for cattle at the auction yard my family sells our animals at has been horrible for a little over a month now but the latest sale may be an indication that things might be improving. Shasta Livestock sale numbers have historically averaged around 1500 head, I’d guestimate. Since March numbers have been horrible, with one sale selling less than 100 head. Last Friday’s sale was over 1000 head with prices about $20/100 pounds less than before the crash.
Time will tell, but I’m hoping for the best.
Thanks for posting. Tried several times to sign the petition but the page stalls out. As of May 1st one market in town has closed the butcher counter for lack of product.
