    Expensive kitchen knives

    What about serrated knives vs straight knives? I have to use serrated for bread, tomatoes, and steak. edit: i have Henckels steak knives. My parents straight steak knives and I hate them. I have a long serrated Pampered Chef knife that works great for bread.

    Yet you cry like you can't afford a turkey for Thanksgiving dinner.

    She was going to put an end to what she called price gouging. You know, because all those farmers and manufacturers are laughing maniacally as they admire their Lamborghini.

    A lot of TDS here. Turkey Derangement Syndrome combined with Trump Derangement Syndrome. Seek treatment.

    Here come the tariffs

    AI Overview The price of beef is high due to a combination of declining domestic supply, high demand, and increased production costs. A multi-year drought, coupled with rising grain prices, forced ranchers to sell off a large portion of their herds, leading to the smallest cattle inventory in decades. This shortage is occurring at a time when demand remains strong, and production costs for ranchers, including feed and fuel, have increased. Additionally, tariffs on beef imports and trade disputes have further constrained supply, preventing imports from offsetting domestic shortages. Declining domestic supply A severe drought and high grain prices in previous years forced many ranchers to sell off a larger-than-normal percentage of their cattle, including breeding females. This resulted in the U.S. cattle herd shrinking to its lowest level since 1951, creating a significant shortage of beef. It will take several years to rebuild the herd, as it takes about 18-24 months to raise a calf to slaughter weight. Because of high prices, ranchers are incentivized to sell their heifers for meat rather than keeping them to build up the herd, which is delaying the recovery of the supply. High demand Despite the high prices, demand for beef remains strong. Consumers are not significantly reducing their consumption of popular items like hamburgers and steaks. Increased costs and tariffs Ranchers are facing higher overhead costs for feed, labor, and fuel. Tariffs on imported beef from countries like Brazil and Australia have reduced supply, as imports have decreased and the domestic supply is already low. Some analysts argue that trade imbalances, such as the lack of market access for U.S. beef in countries like Argentina, also contribute to the problem.
  8. These scumbag criminals always resist arrest. Because they're guilty and guilty law breakers always fight back, because they're emotionally unstable and think they're special and privileged as well.

    Why don't you like Ewoks? I think you should give them another chance. Have you seen the Mandalorian and Grogu trailer? Do you plan to see the movie in the theatre (next spring)?
