    They could, you know, take fewer profits, and lower the prices if they price themselves out of the market.

    So far there’s little sign of Americans eating less beef despite the high prices, but that’s the biggest worry, since beef prices have increased much more than pork or chicken. That’s what worries producers like Kenzy and Perez.

    Like I wrote, no way would he indict himself. The Epstein documents being released must have been doctored in some way.

    That is the answer then, the collection of documents to be released is "trump free".

    trump, his administration, and congressional republicans have fought this tooth and nail. Now they are moving it through with enthusiasm. I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but this makes me suspicious. Maybe the magas made a fake set of Epstein files with trump and other right wingers completely absent from it.

    Hours after the House overwhelmingly passed a bill to force the release of files from the Justice Department’s investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, the Senate moved to approve the legislation by unanimous consent — sending the measure to President Donald Trump’s desk and bringing the yearslong campaign to release some of America’s most scrutinized documents to its final stage.

    I noticed that. Beef isn't producible in the U.S.? Do Americans really eat that much that the market will support domestic and foriegn producers?

    For what its worth, I also like Columbo, but not because of class warfare.

    I would have liked to find an article with the full list of 100 products.

    My grocery prices are higher, like everyone else. I don't eat meat or drink coffee.

    I don't buy large quantities of tea, spices, or the listed nuts.

    It would be interesting to see how this will effect my groceries.

    I wonder if American beef producers feel betrayed by removing the tariffs on foriegn beef, especially with his bailout of Argentinian beef farmers.

    Ugh. Been there, done that. No Thank you. Please don't mess with the Klingons again.

    Plot details are being kept under wraps for now, but sources say Goldstein and Daley’s film is a completely new take on the Star Trek universe and not connected to any previous or current television series, movie or prior movie development projects.
