Gonna agree that you’re out of touch. It’s not about the beef, it’s about the prices.
The real conversation is why are the people being bled dry? Is this a sign of future indentured servitude? A return to feudalism? Or just plain runaway greed?
I'll tell you what I told the other guy. What else are you going to do other than not buy it? That's the only way of protesting the price. Also, it's bad for you and the environment, so it should be priced as if it's a luxury.
