    Biggest drivers in the rising June CPI data include appliances and beef prices.

    McDonalds and Shake Shack have reported their quarterly financial reports, both
    provided a less-than-stellar guidance for the current yearm attributable to higher beef prices​

    People who care about the prices of eggs likely will lose their ****ing mind if the price of hamburgers goes up.

    I've seen a lot of Trump defenders go on and on about how they are seeing lower prices at the stores now under Trump, compared to Biden.


    Beef prices climb to record highs in US

    According to U.S. government data, the average price of a pound of ground beef rose to $6.12 in June, up nearly 12% from a year ago.

    OMAHA, Neb. — Anyone firing up the grill this summer already knows hamburger patties and steaks are expensive, but the latest numbers show prices have climbed to record highs.

    And experts say consumers shouldn't expect much relief soon either.

    The average price of a pound of ground beef rose to $6.12 in June, up nearly 12% from a year ago, according to U.S. government data. The average price of all uncooked beef steaks rose 8% to $11.49 per pound.

    most people expect the Fed to cut rates in the next FOMC meeting in Sept, but not so fast

    here are 3 reasons---inflation inducing---that there may be no cuts this year

    1. 90+ days after liberation, still no trade deals of significance, adding more uncertainty
    2. [Big beautiful bill] sponsored by the Tangerine Musolini adds 6 trillion dollars in debt

    The price of beef doesn't matter to them as long as they have they have a pedophile in office who shares their values.

    That's correct. We have a health crisis in our country. Way too many people are severely overweight. Honestly, in today's world of information, wealth, access to weight loss drugs, access to gyms and fitness centers, and access to all types of foods (including healthy foods)... being fat is a choice. It shortens your life, it impairs your quality of life, and it diminishes your opportunities in life (be those jobs, friends, or sexual partners).

    Honestly, I am shocked at how people just let themselves go. I think there's a mental problem attached to it. There must be because why would someone voluntarily choose to be fat? I am personally repulsed when I gain an extra 2 pounds. I cannot imagine what goes through the minds of people who are 20-30-40 pounds overweight, and some people are even larger. I'd love to see RFK Jr succeed in a health revival in this country. It benefits all.


    GOOD DAY
