>>542492363Did you make a thread about a thread? Couldn’t you just have posted this in the thread? Shame on you imposter OP
>>542492363Because all you have to do is run the numbers just like these big companies are doing. You used to be able to buy Microsoft Office for $150 and load it onto 3x computers. Then they reduced that number to 1x computer. Then they reduced the support date from 10 years down to 5. So it used to cost $5/year per computer if you loaded it onto 3x computers ($150/3 computers/10 years). Now with Office 365 it's $130/year. Sure you can load it onto 5x computers but most people don't have 5x computers, so let's use 3x computers as the example, because you could load it on up to 3x computers with the permanent license. So they went from making $5/year to $130/year, or 26x more than they made before. That means 96% of people could say "fuck you" to Microsoft forever and they'd STILL make more money than charging what they used to charge for a permanent license.It's the same with other companies too. My local diner wants $6 fucking dollars for a glass of milk. I mean, fuck, that can't cost them more than 20 cents. They want $23 for 3 slices of French toast, 2 eggs, and 2 sausage links. That couldn't cost them more than $2. These companies have realized that fucking over their customers makes sense. In the past they kept prices low and made up for it in volume. Now they charge out the fucking ass and don't care if they lose 95% of their customers, because they actually make more. It's criminal.

Just pulled this up via online ordering
>>542495547Yeah OP is the GrubHub delivery price
>>542495547Still too damn high.
>>542492363Taco Bell can just source from more heinous suppliers and keep costs down. Chains have gone completely bankrupt since Covid, and some have nearly collapsed.
start dumpster diving
>>542495724I agree if you're comparing it to making a meal at home. $7 for ~1350 kcal worth of food and drink isn't a crazy price for something from a drive through.
If you buy a T-shirt at Gap, it will have a label that tells you where it was made. That’s federal law.The same is true for automobiles, appliances, television sets, every fresh or frozen fruit and vegetable sold at the supermarket.Beef and pork are notable exceptions to these laws. And that may help to explain why President Trump signed a proclamation last month that will allow the duty-free importation of about 660 million pounds of inexpensive beef.If American consumers knew where that beef was coming from, they might not want to eat it.The cuts of meat covered by Mr. Trump’s proclamation aren’t fresh sirloins, rib-eyes and filets. They’re lean beef trimmings that will be added to fattier American cuts to make ground beef. They’re small chunks of frozen meat that could have been kept in cold storage overseas for years. They are the quintessence of generic industrial meat, imported here to be subsequently processed in massive grinders that combine pieces of tens of thousands of cattle from multiple countries, mainly into fast food hamburgers.
>>542495913I’ve been a longtime critic of food-safety practices in the U.S. meatpacking industry. But some of the practices in the 16 countries currently authorized to export raw beef to the United States are worse than any on these shores. During the past year, China rejected two shipping containers of beef from Uruguay after finding residue of an anti-parasitic drug in the meat, and rejected beef from Argentina reportedly because it tested positive for a banned antibiotic that can cause serious blood disorders.One of the worst food-safety scandals occurred in Brazil, the world’s largest exporter of beef. In 2017, the Brazilian federal police raided nearly 200 meatpacking plants after allegations that government inspectors and politicians were being bribed to allow the sale of contaminated beef. Rotten meat treated with ascorbic acid and other chemicals to mask the contamination had been sold to hospitals and schools in Brazil and also exported. Executives at the Brazilian company JBS, the largest beef producer in the world, later admitted to bribing inspectors.American cattle industry leaders say that Mr. Trump’s move will hurt domestic ranchers and do little to reduce the price of ground beef. They say the real cost savings will be enjoyed by meatpacking companies, fast food chains and supermarkets.
>>542495931Why did Mr. Trump come up with this scheme to import hundreds of millions of pounds of beef?“Regime Change,” the recent book by the Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan, contains an interesting clue: a White House meeting last November between President Trump and Joesley Batista, whose family controls JBS.Mr. Batista had long been considered persona non grata in Washington, having been jailed in Brazil as a result of, among other things, paying $186 million in bribes to almost 2,000 politicians, including three Brazilian presidents, to obtain state financing for his family’s company. In 2019, after JBS bought several American meatpacking companies, Senator Marco Rubio and his colleague Robert Menendez deplored JBS’s “admitted criminal conduct,” its “business relationships with Venezuela’s Maduro regime, as well as its growing reliance on financing from entities aligned with the Chinese government.” The senators argued that allowing JBS to own U.S. companies could endanger America’s food supply and national security.
>>542495952Mr. Batista gained the White House meeting last November, Ms. Haberman and Mr. Swan wrote, because of his friendship with Melania Trump. In addition, a JBS subsidiary had donated $5 million to Mr. Trump’s second inauguration, the largest gift from any individual or corporation. Not long afterward, JBS got approval from the Securities and Exchange Commission to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange, a privilege the company had sought for almost a decade.After the White House meeting with Mr. Trump, Mr. Batista flew to Venezuela at Mr. Trump’s request, met with President Nicolás Maduro and urged him to resign. Mr. Batista’s unusual diplomatic endeavor did not succeed, but in July, a company owned by his family acquired a major stake in Venezuelan oil production, with the blessing of the new Trump-backed government there.The European Union suspended imports of beef from Brazil this past Thursday because of concerns about antibiotic misuse. Mr. Trump’s proclamation facilitating beef imports from Brazil took effect the same week. Calling these facts to public view, the writer Shanley Hunt allowed that perhaps it’s just a coincidence. According to The Wall Street Journal, Mr. Trump announced his intention to allow duty-free foreign beef just a day after another meeting with Mr. Batista at the White House. Perhaps that’s a coincidence, too.
>>542492403That doesn’t solve our economic problems
>>542495972And yet it’s remarkable that the livelihood of American ranchers is being shaped in private meetings between the president of the United States and a representative of Brazil’s largest exporter of beef.Country-of-origin labeling on beef used to be mandatory in the United States. That changed in 2015, when a Republican-controlled Congress, led by Speaker of the House John Boehner, ended the requirement. Just over a year later, Mr. Boehner was appointed to the board of JBS Foods International.Today, four large meatpacking companies control about 85 percent of the market for beef in the United States. Two of those companies — JBS and National Beef — are Brazilian-owned. Smithfield Foods, America’s largest pork company, was purchased by a Chinese company in 2013. Although Smithfield doesn’t currently import pork from China, if it ever does, that fact won’t appear on the label.Last year the Senate majority leader, John Thune, and Senator Cory Booker introduced bipartisan legislation that would once again require that meat be labeled according to its country of origin. In March, the Senate minority leader, Chuck Schumer, introduced separate legislation that would require tougher antitrust enforcement in the meatpacking industry, break up the big four beef companies, strengthen protections for independent ranchers and place limits on foreign ownership of American meat companies.
>>542495993Those bills are a good start. In the early 1970s, before the administration of President Ronald Reagan gutted antitrust enforcement, the top four beef companies had only 21 percent of the U.S. market. When that market was truly competitive, Americans ate more beef than they do today, the nation had more than twice as many cattle ranchers — and foreign corporations didn’t control the most valuable sector of American agriculture.Until a new labeling act gets passed, if you want to eat a hamburger, I suggest going to your local butcher shop, rather than the supermarket, ordering cuts of American beef and asking for them to be ground on the premises. Or grind it at home. Otherwise, there’s really no way of knowing what’s in your meat, or how many international borders it crossed to reach your plate.By Eric SchlosserEric Schlosser is the author of “Fast Food Nation.”

>>542495993Who originally wrote all this?
>>542492363They are going out of business. Small businesses were crushed from the Covid hoax and lockdowns. And many big corpos have been closing down stores and laying off workers. Cheap illegal labor is keeping many afloat and govt subsidies the rest. jews are still pumping away, even though the bubble is nearly burst.
>>542496023>Eric SchlosserI see Buy an ad schnozzer
>>542492363because 1%ers love cheesy gordita crunches
All the cheap businesses will go under. There will only be Dollar General, Top Dollar, and misc jeet stores at the bottom for the goyim and real food at the top for the Jews. Already the case in most of the south. The entire country will become Jackson or Birmingham.You voted for this.
>>542496060>>542496023
>>542496090You asked why Fast Food isn't struggling, it's because Trump is making cozy deals to by years-old beef scraps that the Chinese THE CHINESE won't touch. Mmmmmm MM.
>>542495913Yeah if I’m eating hamburgers I’m getting the grocery store butchers to take a ribeye steak and a sirloin steak from the display and grind them into ground beef for me from now on… I can even definitely see fast food places going berserk on imported ground beef like that $2 ground beef Amazon is selling, like wtf did that come from? Australia I would be ok eating their beef, but fuck Brazil and Argentina beef.
>>542494219Cry about it
>>542494984That's nonsense gibberish lol
>>542495823>just get bacterial infections Lol fuck you no
>>542496326Here in Missourah there are plenty of sources for ranch beef from people I know and trust. Would not eat McDonald's South American slop grindings for free.
>>542496023Good thing I was already thinking this and have done it before. >>542496326My local grocery stores still have in house butchers for beef and actually cut their steaks and make their own ground beef in house. You can actually watch them since the butcher tables are behind glass and you can watch them cutting beef all day. They will even custom cut you whatever cut you want if the ones on display aren’t to your liking.
>>542496431Sounds like good eating. I wish I could do that, but I don’t live in the Midwest or anywhere close to where serious cattle ranchers live unfortunately.
>>542495598>GrubhubI don't think they are still around
>>542492363I paid 12 fucking dollars for 2 chalupasIts over
>>542496957You were a fool for eating that shit in the first place. Even if it was 3 bucks for both.
>>542492363tick tock
>>542492363>The people that set the prices don't go out of businessWho woulda think it. Doubt I'd even be poor if I could change my pay rate whenever I felt like it
>>542497049Trump is pushing for interest rate decreases, which will super-charge Inflation even if he's not serious about the $5000 checks, (and he isn't) that would start us down the path of Zimbabwe.He was promising $2 gas (again) this week "right after the mid-terms", as if there's some conceivable way to do that beyond just Socializing our entire oil infrastructure.
>>542497007I never eat taco bell and I can afford that anywaysits still a rip off
>>542497489Taco Bell is the closest Americans can come to the joys of gutter-oil tier dining.
>>542492363How can you goyim claim to be having trouble affording basic necessities while stores still exist? Something isn't adding up.
>>542497714Store meat is not cheap either, and store Hamburger is getting laced with South America mystery-meat spoilage, as has been mentioned.
>>542492403If you call frying garlic and onions to a burnt crisp
>>542492363BBB loans. small businesses got multi million dollar loans which were later forgiven
