Blame Reagan. Turns out that getting rid of that pesky government oversight did allow corporations to thrive… At the cost of consumers. It’s been a long slide, but the pandemic showed companies just how much they can get away with.
There’s like 3 major airlines, 3 cell providers, and 10 companies that make most of your groceries. Profits are up, and so are prices. Competition is all but dead. To quote Highlander, “There can be only one.”
I’m not going to be polite about liars like you. Every time inflation is mentioned someone comes out of the woodwork and claims preposterous inflation. I buy steaks both from the local grocery and the local butcher. Prices did not double last week for me or anyone else in the US.
Red meat is likely to cause cancer it is also destroying the environment, requires massive subsidies, land and water to stay relatively low cost and the workers in meat processing plants are suffering relentlessly.
I would instead suggest beans, lentils, tofu , tempeh or seitan.
I say this with love: you will never persuade anyone by bringing it up this unprompted. I don’t eat meat myself and I can see that. I’m not sure what a good approach is, but this one puts people on the defensive and makes them entrench themselves out of spite.
That said, if anyone wants a good lentil recipe, check out misir wot. It’s goddamn delicious, as confirmed by my very traditional meat-loving dad, and not difficult to make either
in the store today for a five pack of denver steaks which were about $10 beginning of last week
today when purchased the same pack it was about $20
same with every other grocery item in the store prices just keep going up and never down

Lentils and chickpeas, my beloved.
I don’t think you’ll ever convince someone like that to stop being like that.
