U.S. beef prices have been stubbornly high for a variety of reasons, including drought and reduced imports from Mexico due to a flesh-eating pest in cattle herds there.
Jesus they are super fucking desperate to make Argentina work
If only Brazilian beef wasn’t tariffed due to them prosecuting fascism
how about he just gets rid of the stupid fucking tariffs that have basically embargoed his own country.
If only he wasn’t putin’s bitch.
Argentina screwworm attack!
When being smart is just too hard.
That’s when you throw on a red hat and start fucking your relatives.
We spent $40 billion on beef, and we still have to purchase it? That’s about $120 worth of beef for each American citizen. I’ll take a mix of steaks and ground beef, with a few nice pot roasts tossed in.
Or they could just spend the money on health care instead.
Gonna need healthcare after eating all that
Soy bean market given, 40 billion given, and now we’re giving them the American beef market too? Damn, talk about being America first.
trump beef™, now with free included prions!
We gave them 40 billion and then purchase their beef? Feels like a trade deficit
They’re desperate to save Argentina from collapsing because Argentina voted in their own Authoritarian and Trump, Elon and Theil used it as a test run for what they are trying to do to America.
Also, Argentina was nice enough to give sanctuary to all those escaped Nazis, and Trump wants to keep his options open.
This is totaly correct
So the government will buy it and give out to people for free? Because otherwise I don’t see how it will lower prices.
Bubula et circenses.
Prices would go down due to an economic principle known as supply and demand
The basic idea is in a market where the demand for an item (beef in this case) outstrips the supply, the price goes up until the demand is equal to the supply. By importing Argentinian beef, you’re increasing the available supply in the market. Thus the price will decrease until supply and demand are again equal
No, it isn’t supply and demand. The supply is the same. They aren’t producing more beef that didn’t exist before last week. You could always buy Argentinian beef in the US, but it wasn’t imported more because of the price. So if you want to say that the localized supply increased, then it is because it was purchased by the government and either given away for free or heavily subsidized in price.
Subsidies is why this will make beef less expensive. Except now the subsidies are going to Argentinians instead of American farmers.
That would only be true if beef imported from Argentina was cheaper than beef produced in US, right? And if imported beef was cheaper it would already be in US, right? Unless there are some health based restrictions that prevent importing beef and the government is going to remove those?
This is the type of shit a noob does in Victoria 3. Uooueggh line is going down start slapping buttons!!!
Uooueggh
lmao what the fuck does this word sound like?
The sound of the alarm when a submarine is about to dive.
The whole point of tariffs is to make the price high so that American farmers can sell their beef while hiring in the American economy… High prices are the whole goal.
🎶Don’t tariff beef, Argentina!
- Trump.
The truth is, I’m making ragù.
Lmao. This goes against his tariffs.
But it does further the goal of market manipulation. When prices swing rapidly, there’s lots of cash to be made
Start investing in building firms around rural America, there’s going to be a big old rush on by the land farmers used to own.
