When the reporter asked Trump on Air Force One about allowing the large beef import from Argentina, Trump gave his patented answer that she didn't know what she was talking about. Funny thing is that Charles Herbster, meat baron from Nebraska and a Trump supporter, also thinks that Trump is selling our meat producers down the river, to lower the cost of beef for the midterms.
Trump's lies are coming home to bite the Republican incumbents. Everyone except the dumbest can see through them. I notice that his rally crowds are getting younger and younger. and less informed.
Shown above was my family's meat business. The shop was closed several years before I took the photo, just prior to it being demolished. At the time when Allentown had the huge A&B, there were also half a dozen small packers.

Instead of facing the problems of meat production, much of due to regulation importing beef will only speed up the decline of self sufficiency in food. Supporting Argentina seems to be a global political priority over a healthy and vibrant meet industry.
ReplyDeleteSo if beef prices are high, it's Trump's fault. But if Trump tries to lower the cost of beef for the people and goes against the "meat baron(s)", that's a bad thing and that's also Trump's fault?
ReplyDeleteGee, it couldn't be that you're a bit biased against Trump, could it? And I'm glad to see that you're standing up for the big meat barons as well.
Maybe you should rename your blog "The Daily Whine". Then you'd actually have something clever to pair it with if Trump ever goes against the big "cheese barons".
anon@10:44: I imagine that being a Trump defender is more tiresome than having TDS or being a "whiner". Trump is the tariff baron, so excluding it right before the midterms is pretty transparent.
ReplyDelete.
Being a Trump Whiner for the past 10 years is getting a bit old Mickey. Plenty of other things to bitch about in Allentown. C'mon, get it together!
Deleteanon@12:29: Although I couldn't vote for either candidate in 2024, I didn't start to "whine" until about 6 months ago. Truth be told, my "whining" is much more important to me than your comments.
ReplyDeleteThe problem is our horrid government schools. We graduate functional illiterates as high school graduates.
ReplyDeleteCorrect Brent, at the behest of Teachers unions
DeleteUnfortunately I find this to be somewhat true. Many hs grads can’t, or don’t, read and follow directions, spell or speak grammatically correctly, and solve basic math problems.
DeleteI don't know whom to blame, the administrators or the unions. The fact is the functional illiterates. That and employers do not want to hire employees generally with benifits.
DeleteI have a post-masters with coursework completed for my PhD; However at 71, the cost of my benifits are far more than that of a 50 year old. So they are reluctant at best to be hired.
I don't defend Trump. His record on many things is just undefendable. The problem is that the Democrats are even worse.
ReplyDeleteAlso, Trump is not a Republican. He uses the GOP for his own ajenda. MAGA is as Republican as Social Democrats are Democrats; They are the flip sides of the radical right and radical left. The fringe elements of both parties have taken over both parties;
