And nothing more eye opening for people then to hear directly what everything is starting to cost.

One time price bump in what exactly? I won't wait for a response because why back up the nonsense you post here.

Mass deportations with no plan to replace the workers who keep farms, kitchens, and construction sites running. That’s not a fix that’s a guaranteed spike in prices.

 

Cause → effect

Still haven't answered my question regarding one time price bump you so graciously ran here to post. Loser

Time to start documenting

 

A 50% tariff on Brazil is steep. It’s unclear if this is just a negotiating tactic to pressure Brazil into easing up on Bolsonaro’s criminal prosecution, but if it goes through, expect coffee and steel prices to spike.

My mother was taking it before her death in 2021.  After the limit for her insurance it jumped to $50/month. I asked at CVS  what it would be w/o insurance. They said $500/month.

Most significant factor for cost of beef:

 

Lowest supply of cattle in 70 years has been the driving factor among others.  


The trend for beef the last 4 years has been spiking - and check beef prices now vs April 1.

 

 

 

As of March 2025, beef prices in the United States are experiencing significant increases, driven by a combination of supply constraints and robust demand.

 

Supply Constraints

 

The U.S. cattle inventory has declined to its lowest level since 1951, with 86.7 million head reported as of January 1, 2025, marking a 1% decrease from the previous year.

"The main factors for our higher beef prices this year are driven by supply, demand and financial elements like higher interest rates," said Paul Savage, director of commodities forecasting at Chicago-based ArrowStream, which provides supply chain technology to restaurants.

 

A key driver behind the rising prices is the shrinking cattle population.

 

The national herd has declined to 86.7 million head, the lowest since 1951, according to the AFBF. 
 

Prolonged droughts in cattle-producing states like Texas, Kansas and Nebraska have devastated grazing pastures, forcing many farmers to cull their herds. 
 

At the same time, rising tariffs and ongoing trade disruptions have made cattle production more costly.

 

 

Additionally, cases of the New World Screwworm – a parasitic fly whose maggots burrow into and feed on the flesh of cattle – halted imports from Mexico to the U.S., though the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) said some ports could reopen soon.


The U.S. gets most of its cattle imports from Mexico and Canada.


 

"Potentially, lower interest rates [for farmers] would help and the recently announced changes to the SNAP program may also help lower prices," he said. "But it won't happen overnight."

 

In the meantime, the U.S. is importing more beef from Australia, New Zealand and Brazil, Savage said, and limiting beef exports to other countries to help stabilize supply.
 

Farmers are also growing bigger animals to offset the lower cattle harvest.
