This town's biggest beef this week was an argument over BBQ brisket.
To wit we humbly ask . . .
WHO SHOULD KANSAS CITY BLAME FOR HIGHER BBQ PRICES?!?!
As always, we offer both sides of the debate . . .
Our progressive friends seem to suggest climate change and equity are the culprits . . .
A lot of factors combined to make this the case including:
Pandemic-related shutdowns that slowed parts of the production process
Not having enough workers in the factories or transporting the beef
High gas prices for transporting
A drought, leading to less healthy grass for calves to eat and therefore less calves
Meanwhile and on a related note, we shouldn't forget that Prez Biden recently blamed Big Agra for rising costs . . .
"You could call it 'corporate greed,' sure. You could call it 'jacking up prices during a pandemic,'" White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said in December.
Even President Biden weighed in, blasting the meat industry in his State of the Union address last week.
"Capitalism without competition is exploitation. It drives up profits," Mr. Biden said.
You decide . . .
